Shrimp Sliders

This wonderful recipe comes from Figtree appetizers, its great for sports parties!

Ingredients:

About 1 1/4 pound of medium shrimp peeled and cleaned
juice from 1/2 a lemon
2 tablespoons of mayo
hot sauce to taste
1 to 2 teaspoons of Cajun or Old Bay seasoning
about 3/4 a sleeve of crushed Ritz crackers(I have not purchased these crackers in years!!!)
Salt and pepper
handful if chopped cilantro
3 to 4 chopped scallions (only use white and light green sections, save top for garnish)
1 mixed egg
Sliced small dinner rolls
assorted toppings

Method:

Combine lemon juice, mayo, hot sauce, cajun seasoning, cracker crumbs,egg, cilantro, scallions and salt and pepper. Mix well together.
Cut cleaned shrimp into small pieces, you want some texture, but you also want them to stay together,try to resist urge to throw them in the food processor.
Add shrimp to mayo mixture, combine well.Form shrimp patties, making them slightly larger than the dinner rolls you plan on using. I ended up with about 14 small patties.
Make sure the patties are not thicker than 1/2 an inch.Place patties on a lightly greased baking tray (that will fit in your freezer).
Tray goes right in freezer for about 1 hour, a little longer is fine.The freezing will help them hold their shape while cooking.
When the game begins, remove from freezer. Heat a large non stick pan, spray with oil (I know its non stick just do it), cook each side about 2 minutes till nicely golden and shrimp appear cooked.

Stuff shrimp sliders in to warm rolls, add favorite toppings and enjoy.
