Mini Mushroom
Shrimp Sliders

These adorable mini sliders swap traditional buns for tender, roasted mushroom caps, featuring a juicy shrimp patty, melted cheese, and fresh crisp greens.

Ingredients

• 20 white button mushrooms
• 300 g shrimp paste
• 5 slices cheddar cheese
• 1 lettuce
• 1 tomato
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• to taste salt
• to taste black pepper
• 2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

1. 1Prepare the mushrooms

   

   Remove the stems from the white button mushrooms and wash the caps thoroughly. Ensure they are dry before proceeding to the cooking stage.

   Tip: Removing the stems creates a perfect cup for the shrimp filling.
2. 2Sauté the mushroom caps

   

   Place the prepared mushroom caps into a hot, lightly oiled pan. Cook over low heat to allow the mushrooms to soften and release their moisture.

   Tip: Cook them cap-side down first to get a nice sear before filling.
3. 3Season the mushrooms

   

   Lightly sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the browning mushroom caps while they continue to cook in the pan.

   Tip: Seasoning early ensures the flavor penetrates the mushrooms.
4. 4Fill with shrimp paste

   

   Using a piping bag, carefully fill the center of each sautéed mushroom cap with a generous portion of prepared shrimp paste.

   Tip: Using a piping bag makes it easier to fill the mushrooms evenly.
5. 5Pan-fry the filled mushrooms

   

   Carefully place the shrimp-filled mushroom caps into a hot, oiled pan. Cook until the shrimp paste is fully opaque and cooked through.

   Tip: Keep the heat medium to ensure the shrimp cooks without burning the mushroom base.
6. 6Final seasoning

   

   Finish the dish by lightly seasoning the cooked shrimp side of the mushrooms with an additional touch of salt and black pepper.

   Tip: This final touch elevates the flavor of the shrimp.
7. 7Brown the stuffed mushrooms

   

   Place the mushroom caps stuffed with shrimp paste into a hot pan. Cook on both sides until they are golden brown and the shrimp paste is fully cooked through.

   Tip: Keep the heat at medium to ensure the mushrooms cook evenly without burning.
8. 8Apply dressing

   

   Once the stuffed mushrooms are browned, drizzle a small amount of salad dressing or mayonnaise over the top of the shrimp paste.

   Tip: A little dressing adds creaminess and helps hold the toppings together.
9. 9Layer the toppings

   

   Start building your burger by placing a small piece of lettuce and a slice of tomato onto the dressed mushroom base, then top it with a slice of cheese.

   Tip: Cut the lettuce and cheese into small pieces to perfectly match the size of the mushroom caps.
10. 10Melt the cheese

    

    Place a lid over the frying pan and allow the mushrooms to steam for about one minute. This will melt the cheese perfectly over the lettuce and shrimp.

    Tip: The steam helps the cheese melt quickly without overcooking the delicate mushroom cap.
11. 11Secure and serve

    

    Use a toothpick to carefully secure the top mushroom cap to the base. This holds your mini mushroom burger together and makes it easy to eat.

    Tip: Make sure the toothpick goes all the way through the shrimp paste to hold the stack steady.
