This burger is packed with robust flavours. Avoid seasoning with salt and pepper, the chorizo and shrimp are salty enough on their own.

Step 1

Chop chorizo into small, ¼-inch pieces. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium high. Sauté chorizo until browned, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Scoop ½ cup (125 mL) shrimp mixture into the pan and gently press into a patty. Repeat with remaining shrimp mixture. Cook for 3 minutes, or until bottom is golden. Flip and continue cooking for 3 more minutes or until patty is set.
