Game day snack: Yogurt Shrimp Slider

Hi everybody!!

This week was very stressful for me, but now I can finally make something super easy and delicious at the same time. Since World Cup fever is finally setting in, I will show you how to make the perfect snack: a super simple shrimp slider ( a small sandwich with typically 3 inches diameter).  

The recipe calls for 3 large spoons of mayonnaise but I have replaced  2/3rd s of it with sour hung curd. I know the burger bun is not very healthy but everyone gets to eat one during the World Cup !!! 

What will you require:

• 2 small burger buns
• 250 gm shrimp (which i cooked in a saucepan with quarter cup water and salt and pepper on high flame for 3 minutes till the water got evaporated)
• 2 tbsp hung curd ( get regular mother diary curd and hang it in a clean muslin cloth and squeeze out all liquid, takes 2 minutes)
• 1 tbsp mayo
• one small onion minced as shown in the picture.
• juice of half a lime (optional but recommended)
• some seasoning ( I used onion powder, sesame seeds and chilly flakes..some cilantro would have been awesome)
• Here i want to mention, If you don't want to use mayo at all, then you can add some minced pineapple or even an apple to the mix. It will give you a good crunch and add a sweet and fresh dimension to your slider.
• some salt and pepper.

 Dice your cooked shrimp as shown below.

In a bowl, mix your shrimp, hung curd, mayo, onion, seasonings, juice of lime, optional fruits and salt and pepper.

Lightly toast your bun on a pan with a tiny bit of butter or olive oil as this will help you achieve a golden brown lightly crisp textured center. Now they are ready for stuffing.

These sliders are so simple to put together and make for an excellent snack while watching a game or your favorite TV show. Serve you sliders with some chips if you want.  :)

Enjoy and  remember to cook from your heart !!
