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, then assemble and enjoy. —Kim Banick, Salem Oregon

Ingredients

  • 1 pound uncooked shrimp (41-50 per pound), peeled and deveined
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
