Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 grams) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 baguette, sliced
Cheese and Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) shredded mozzarella
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup (15 grams) chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp mixture by finely chopping the shrimp in a food processor until uniformly minced.
- Combine the chopped shrimp with minced garlic, creamy mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella, finely sliced green onions, tangy lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to create a harmonious blend.
- Evenly distribute the seasoned shrimp mixture across the sliced baguette, ensuring complete coverage of the bread surface.
- Position the prepared toast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Slide the baking sheet into a preheated oven at 375F (190C), allowing the toast to transform into a golden, crispy delicacy for 12-15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven when the edges turn a beautiful golden brown and the top appears lightly crisped.
- Let the shrimp toast cool for a brief moment to prevent burning, then transfer to a serving platter.
- Garnish with additional chopped green onions for a fresh, vibrant touch and serve immediately while warm and fragrant.
Notes
- Make sure to finely chop shrimp for a smooth, consistent texture that spreads evenly on the toast.
- Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and most delicate taste.
- Adjust baking time carefully to prevent burning while ensuring the toast is crispy and golden brown.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute baguette with gluten-free bread or cauliflower rounds as a base.
