Grilled Shrimp with Garlic

We have been experimenting with grilling shrimp, using different marinade and rub methods.  The results have been delicious and easy.  

Here is another grilled shrimp recipe that sounds spicy, yummy and easy courtesy of Bobby Flay and the Food Network.

Pimento Cheese Burger

Can we assume from The Food Network that Bobby Flay is the King of Burgers and BBQ?  I've heard raves about his restaurant Bobby's Burger Palace.  I'd love to go there and have one of these Pimento Cheese Burgers!

The Captain and I love cheeseburgers and we love pimento cheese . . . of course we will be trying this recipe soon!

Makes 4 burgers

Pimento Cheese

• 1/3 cup prepared mayonnaise
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder
• ¼ pound extra sharp white cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
• ¼ pound extra sharp yellow cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
• 1/3 cup drained and finely diced piquillo peppers or roasted red peppers

Using a fork, stir together the mayonnaise, salt, pepper and cayenne in a large bowl. Add the cheese and peppers and mix with the fork until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld.

Burgers

• 1½ lbs freshly ground chuck (80/20)
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 4 hamburger buns, with or without sesame seeds, split
• 8 thick slices double smoked bacon, cooked until crisp, optional

1. Form the meat into four burgers. Season the burgers on both sides with salt and pepper.

2. Add the oil to the griddle and heat over high heat until shimmering. Cook the burgers for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked to medium doneness.

3. During the last 30 seconds of cooking, top each burger with a few spoonfuls of the pimento cheese, cover with a basting cover or loosely tent with foil and cook until the cheese melts slightly.

4. Place the burger on the bottom half of the bun, top the cheese with 2 slices of bacon on top of the cheese and top with the bun top.
