Cheesy Shrimp Toast
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Baguette | 1 |
| Shrimp | 1/2 pound |
| Shredded mozzarella cheese | 1 cup |
| Mayonnaise | 1/4 cup |
| Garlic, minced | 2 cloves |
| Lemon juice | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Melted butter | 2 tablespoons |
| Fresh parsley, chopped | 2 tablespoons |
Instructions:
Prepare the bread:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet. Brush each slice with melted butter, then toast for about 5 minutes until lightly crisp and golden.
Make the shrimp topping:
In a bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Assemble and bake:
Remove the toasted bread from the oven and spread the shrimp mixture evenly over each slice. Return the tray to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the shrimp is fully cooked.
Finish and serve:
Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the warm shrimp toast before serving. Enjoy immediately while the bread is crispy and the topping is perfectly cheesy.
