Shrimp Po' Boy Sliders

We prefer almost everything in slider form. These mini sandwiches are probably a quarter of the size of what you'd find in New Orleans, but they're packed with just as much crunch and flavor. Just like for a good po' boy, the shrimp gets battered (with a mixture of flour + cornmeal + Cajun seasoning) and fried (don't worry, it's a shallow fry). There's also a quick and easy remoulade, which you definitely DON'T want to skip. The simple spread made with mayo, whole-grain mustard, hot sauce, lemon juice, and herbs takes these mini sandwiches to the next level!

Ingredients:

- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon onion powder

- 1 teaspoon paprika

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

- Salt and pepper, to taste

- 8 slider buns

- 1/4 cup mayonnaise

- 2 tablespoons hot sauce

- 1 cup shredded lettuce

- 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes

- Pickle slices (optional)

Direction:

1. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until the shrimp is evenly coated in the seasoning.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until pink and cooked through.

3. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and hot sauce to make the spicy mayo.

4. Toast the slider buns in a toaster or in the oven until lightly golden.

5. Assemble the sliders by spreading a spoonful of spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and a few pickle slices (if desired).

6. Place a few cooked shrimp on top of the toppings, then cover with the top half of the bun.

7. Serve the shrimp po' boy sliders immediately and enjoy! Optional: Serve with extra hot sauce for added heat.
