Ingredients for Angie S Shrimp Canapes

  • White Bread
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Dried Thyme Leaves
  • Frozen Cooked Shrimp
  • Monterey Jack Cheese
  • Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

How to Make Angie S Shrimp Canapes

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Remove crusts from bread slices. Using a 2-inch fluted round cookie cutter, cut out 20 circles. Use a sharp knife to cut the remaining bread into 20 triangles.
  3. Tear the bread trimmings into fine crumbs. You should have about 1/2 cup of crumbs. Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and thyme. Mix well.
  5. Brush the butter mixture evenly onto all 40 bread cutouts.
  6. Arrange the bread cutouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  7. Broil for 2 minutes, or until the bread is lightly golden brown.
  8. While the bread is broiling, in a medium bowl, combine the reserved bread crumbs, cooked shrimp, shredded cheese, mayonnaise, and salt. Mix gently until everything is combined.
  9. Once the bread is lightly toasted, evenly spread the shrimp mixture onto each bread cutout.
  10. Return the baking sheet to the broiler and broil for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp mixture is heated through and bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
  11. Remove from the broiler and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
