Instructions
Prepare your charcoal grill to a medium-hot temp, keeping grill cover nearby. Get a large bowl and a medium skillet out.
Burger: In the bowl, combine the meat, rosemary, all but 1 tablespoon of the garlic, the bell peppers, 2 tablespoons of the salt, 2 tablespoons of the Colavita OIL, all but 1 teaspoon of the jalapeño pepper and 3/4 of the Sutter Home Chardonnay.
In the skillet combine the 1 tablespoon of garlic and half a tablespoon of the salt, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the teaspoon of jalapeño pepper and the remaining chardonnay. Set this skillet aside until later.
Now, quickly mix the burger mixture completely. Divide the mix into 6 equal portions and form each into patties sightly larger than the buns.
If your grill is ready, brush the grill rack with some of the leftover oil. Put the patties on the grill, leaving space for the skillet. Wash hands and put the shrimp in the skillet and set on the grill. Cook burgers 3-4 minutes on one side, turnover and cook 3-4 minutes longer. Let the shrimp come to a boil, remove and set aside. Now, brush the buns cut side with some of the oil and put cut side down on grill until warmed over, remove to assembly table.
