I remember the first time I made these shrimp sliders. It was the opening weekend of baseball season, and my friends were coming over for a barbecue. I wanted something beyond the usual burgers and hot dogs. Enter these incredible Season Opener Shrimp Sliders! They're quick, flavorful, and always a hit. Trust me; these sliders bring a taste of summer, no matter the weather! They're incredibly delicious and, dare I say, pretty darn impressive.

These sliders are more than just a tasty appetizer; they're an experience! The combination of the smoky grilled shrimp, the creamy dill sauce, and the fresh toppings creates a flavor explosion in every bite. And the best part? They're easy to customize. Add a spicy kick with some sriracha, or swap out the avocado for a slice of tomato. Get creative and make them your own! They’re seriously addictive – my friends practically inhale them!

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. First, let’s prep those shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. This helps them get a nice sear on the grill. In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure they're evenly coated.
  2. Now for the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. You don't want a shrimp disaster!
  3. Grill the shrimp: Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque. Watch them closely; they cook quickly!
  4. Whisk together the sauce: While the shrimp is grilling, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. I like a little extra lemon zest for brightness!
  5. Assemble the sliders: Lightly toast the slider buns on the grill or in a toaster. This adds a nice texture. Spread a generous amount of the dill sauce on the bottom buns.
  6. Load 'em up!: Place the grilled shrimp on top of the sauce-covered buns. Add a few slices of avocado, some shredded lettuce, and a sprinkle of chopped red onion (if using).
  7. Top it off: Place the top buns on the sliders and serve immediately. These are best enjoyed hot off the grill!
  8. Serve and enjoy! These shrimp sliders are fantastic on their own or with a side of coleslaw or potato salad. They're always a crowd-pleaser!

📝 Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the shrimp marinade.
  • If you don't have fresh dill, dried dill can be substituted (use about 1 teaspoon).
  • These sliders are great with a side of coleslaw or potato salad.
