1. I used Cabot's garlic and Herb Cheddar on these burgers! But your favorite cheddar of any variety will definitely do! Or Swiss. Or Havarti. Get crazy.
2. To broil your burgers you need to preheat the broiler to high. Place the patties on a foil lined broil pan and then position the pan about 3" from the broiler (in my oven it's the top rack). After 3 minutes, flip your burgers and add the shrimp skewers. 5 minutes will give you a more well done burger -- keep watch and check for your perfect temp preference. The shrimp are done when they are pink and plump.
3. If you are using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them thoroughly in water before cooking so you don't have a fire on your hands.
