INGREDIENTS
1 Tablespoon olive oil
4 scallions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons key lime zest
1 cup fine cracker crumbs
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
1/2 –3/4 cup flour for dusting |
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 pound cooked seafood, chopped
1/4 cup key lime juice
1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
1 teaspoon fish sauce or Worcestershire
1/4 teaspoon salt
oil for pan-frying |
DIRECTIONS
Heat olive oil in sauté pan over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic and green onions. Cook
until onions turn bright green. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl mix seafood with lime zest and juice. Add cooked garlic and onions,
cracker crumbs and smoked paprika. Stir to combine well.
In a small bowl, mix together eggs, fish sauce and mayonnaise. Pour over seafood mixture
and stir lightly until completely combined.
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Place flour on one sheet.
Use 1/3 cup of mixture for each slider. Form into thick patties, coat with flour and place
on clean parchment, continuing with entire batch. Refrigerate patties until ready to cook.
Heat 1/8 inch oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliders a few at a time and
cook until brown and crisp, turning once. Serve immediately on a bed of fresh spinach with Key
Lime Beurre Blanc drizzled over both spinach and sliders.
