My family loves these shrimp sliders. The bang bang slaw dressing and shrimp cake patties can be made ahead. When ready to serve, toss the cabbage slaw and sear the shrimp cakes, assemble and enjoy. —Kim Banick, Salem Oregon

Ingredients

1 pound uncooked shrimp (41-50 per pound), peeled and deveined
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Place shrimp in a food processor; pulse until chopped. In a large bowl, combine the egg, red pepper, 4 green onions, ginger and salt. Add shrimp and bread crumbs; mix gently. Shape into 12 1/2-in.-thick patties. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
