Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 lb cooked shrimp, rinsed and chopped (plus extras for garnish)
- 1 baguette, sliced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
- 1/2 bunch dill (fresh or frozen), chopped
- 1 cup three-cheese Mexican blend
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse 1/2 lb cooked shrimp under cold water and chop them into small pieces. Place the shrimp in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Chop the Herbs and Garlic: Roughly chop 1/2 bunch parsley and 1/2 bunch dill (fresh or frozen). Mince 2 cloves garlic. Add these ingredients to the bowl with the chopped shrimp.
- Add Creaminess: Stir in 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup three-cheese Mexican blend cheese until everything is evenly combined. The mixture should be creamy, with the cheese evenly distributed throughout.
- Slice and Prepare the Baguette: Take 1 baguette and slice it into approximately 1-inch thick pieces. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.
- Spread the Mixture: Generously spread the shrimp and cheese mixture over each slice of baguette, ensuring they are well-covered.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the canapés for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the bread are slightly toasted. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!
- Garnish: For an extra touch, consider adding a whole sautéed shrimp on top of each canapé just before serving for presentation and flavor.
