Ingredients

For the Shrimp Patties:

  • 1 lb (450 g) raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)

For the Sriracha Mayo:

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

For Assembly:

  • 8-10 slider buns or mini brioche buns
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Pickles (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Shrimp Patties

  1. Start by roughly chopping the shrimp. You want a mix of finely minced and slightly chunky pieces for the best texture.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, green onion, soy sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients form a cohesive mixture that's easy to shape.
  3. Shape the mixture into 8-10 small patties, about the size of your slider buns.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 2: Prepare the Sriracha Mayo

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice. Taste the sauce and adjust the Sriracha level depending on how spicy you want it.

Step 3: Assemble the Sliders

  1. Slice your slider buns and toast them lightly in the oven or a dry skillet for extra texture.
  2. Spread a generous layer of Sriracha mayo on the top and bottom halves of each bun.
  3. Layer a piece of lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by a shrimp patty and a slice of tomato. Add pickles if desired.
  4. Place the top bun on and press gently to hold everything together.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

Place the assembled sliders on a serving platter and serve immediately. You can pair them with crispy fries, a fresh salad, or even a side of coleslaw for a complete meal.

Tips for Making the Best Shrimp Sliders

  • Customize the Heat Level: If you're not a fan of too much spice, reduce the amount of Sriracha in the mayo or swap it out for a mild chili sauce. Conversely, you can increase the Sriracha for an extra kick!
  • Add More Crunch: Add a slice of red onion or a heap of coleslaw to give your sliders even more texture and flavor.
  • Make It Gluten-Free: Replace panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free crumbs and use gluten-free buns to accommodate dietary needs.
  • Prep in Advance: You can prepare the shrimp patties ahead of time and refrigerate them until you’re ready to cook. This makes them perfect for entertaining when time is tight.

These shrimp sliders with spicy Sriracha mayo are guaranteed to impress. They're easy to make, endlessly customizable, and absolutely delicious. Try them for your next gathering or as a fun twist on burger night—you’ll love every bite!
