Ingredients
  

For the slaw

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 finger-tip sized pieces ginger root, finely minced, divided (use half for the shrimp glaze)
  • 1/2 medium red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 4 scallions thinly sliced, reserve a small amount for topping the sliders

For the Shrimp

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Reserved minced ginger (from slaw)
  • 1 lb 21/25 shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail removed
  • Metal skewers

Assembly

  • 8 brioche slider buns, toasted
  • Sriracha mayo (mix ¼ cup mayo with 1/2 teaspoon sriracha)
  • Reserved scallions (from slaw)
  • Sesame seeds, optional

Instructions
 

  • To make the slaw, combine mayo, rice vinegar, sesame oil and ginger in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together. Add red cabbage, carrot and scallions. Mix well. Set aside. 
  • To make the shrimp glaze, combine honey, soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, garlic powder and ginger. Mix well. Reserve a small amount for drizzling after grilling the shrimp.
  • Preheat grill to high heat. Clean and oil grates. 
  • Thread shrimp onto skewers (make sure to have soaked skewers in water for 30 minutes, if using wooden skewers, to prevent them from burning). Pat dry with a paper towel. Brush lightly with extra virgin olive oil (you don't want it dripping with oil) and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. 
  • Reduce grill heat to medium high. Add the shrimp and grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until shrimp are cooked through and opaque. Before shrimp are cooked through, brush on both sides with the glaze 2-3 times. Remove from grill. 
  • To assemble the sliders, spread each brioche bun with sriracha mayo. Top with grilled shrimp. Drizzle a bit of the reserved glaze overtop the shrimp. Top shrimp with slaw. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve with remaining slaw.
