• 1  tablespoon lemon juice

• 1  tablespoon canola oil (or as needed plus more for hands)

• MAYO SAUCE

• 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise

Directions

1. In the bowl of a food processor, add ½ lb. shrimp, 2 tablespoons red peppers, 2 tablespoons green onions, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, lemon zest, salt, pepper and garlic.
2. Process until the ingredients are finely chopped and the mixture turns into a thick paste, about 30 seconds, cleaning the sides of the bowl.
3. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and add the remaining ½ lb. shrimp, the remaining 2 tablespoons red peppers as well as green onions, dill, and ¼ cup of panko breadcrumbs.
4. Combine all the ingredients until nicely blended before adding another ¼ cup of breadcrumbs, mix again and add the last ¼ cup.
5. With greased hands, scoop about 2 ½ tablespoons and form a patty. Place on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat while making the others.
6. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge for at least 30 minutes but ideally, 2 hours is better.
7. Meanwhile, mix the sauce ingredients, cover and chill until ready to serve.
8. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of canola oil and when it’s hot, add the shrimp patties.
9. Grill for 5 minutes before flipping them and grilling the other side until nicely browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.
10. Spread mayo sauce on the top and bottom buns, place lettuce then the patties on top followed by tomato slices. Yields 9 sliders.
