BAKED SHRIMP TOAST

Shrimp toasts are fresh chopped shrimp, onion, celery, and garlic, all nested in a luscious sauce made from cream cheese, Parmesan, and Fontina cheese with just a hint of Cajun spice. They are fabulous for entertaining, and I love to serve these bite-sized goodies with Mini Quiche and Toasted Ravioli.

HOW DO YOU MAKE SHRIMP TOAST?

Start by toasting the French baguette slices under the broiler on low for 3-5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Now grab a skillet and heat just a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp, onion, and celery while stirring frequently. After 1 minute, add the garlic, pepper, and Cajun seasoning while stirring constantly.

Turn the heat as low as it will go and add the cream cheese, Parmesan, and Fontina cheese. Stir until the cheese is blended and almost fully melted. Now, top the toasted baguette slices evenly with the shrimp mixture. Season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper and place in the oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Sprinkle with scallions or fresh chopped cilantro. For best results, serve immediately.

STORAGE AND REHEAT

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat on a baking sheet loosely covered with aluminum foil at 325 degrees for 5-7 minutes or just until warm. Or reheat in an air fryer at 350 degrees for 1-2 minutes.
