EASY BAKED SHRIMP TOAST
This baked shrimp toast features rich and creamy shrimp combination on top of crispy bread. if you are seeking out a short and smooth appetizer for your next birthday celebration, deliver this a attempt.
There’s a non-traditional Vietnamese dish called “banh mi quet tom” that has a aggregate of shrimp and mayonnaise unfold on baguette slices. The baguette slices are then baked until golden and crispy. This baked shrimp toast is my version of that dish.
The principle ingredients to make this dish are bread, shrimp, garlic, scallions, black pepper, mayonnaise, and butter. I additionally want to serve it with sparkling basil due to its sweet aroma.
You can reduce baguette vertically into skinny slices or divide in 1/2 horizontally. For ciabatta, reduce in 1/2 horizontally. regardless of preference, every slice/1/2 shouldn’t be too thick. i like to maintain them beneath 1 inch thick.
