Tasty Shrimp Slider Recipe For Parties
Sliders don’t have to be limited to beef or chicken. This shrimp salad version brings bold flavor by combining chopped cooked shrimp with savory chorizo, diced celery, chives, and a creamy dressing enlivened with a little buffalo wing sauce and Dijon.
They’re simple to make and travel well, so they’re ideal for tailgating, potlucks, or any party where you want finger food that’s flavorful and easy to eat.
How To Make Shrimp Salad
Preparation is quick: combine the chopped cooked shrimp, cooked and chopped chorizo, diced celery, chives, mayonnaise, Dijon, buffalo sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until well combined, cover, and chill for a couple of hours to let the flavors meld.
For serving, split soft slider buns without cutting all the way through, spoon the chilled shrimp salad into each bun, and finish with extra chopped chives for color and freshness. You can also serve the salad on hamburger buns, hot dog rolls, or over a bed of lettuce for a low-carb option.
What Kind of Shrimp Do You Need To Make Shrimp Salad?
Use pre-cooked frozen shrimp for convenience—no need to buy large, expensive shrimp since the shrimp are chopped for the salad. Small to medium cooked shrimp work well and help keep the cost reasonable.
Chorizo adds a rich, savory note and a hint of spice without overwhelming the dish. Cook the chorizo according to package directions, let it cool slightly, then chop and combine with the shrimp to give the salad a robust flavor profile that keeps people coming back for more.
Serve these Spicy Shrimp Salad Sliders at your next gathering or enjoy them at home. For a lighter version, spoon the shrimp salad into lettuce leaves or wraps instead of buns.
