How to Make Madam Butterfly Tiger Shrimp On Pillow Crisps

Make a small slit along the curve of each shrimp to remove the vein. Butterfly each shrimp by cutting it lengthwise, almost all the way through, leaving the tail intact.
Marinate the shrimp in the lemon juice for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for enhanced lemon flavor).
In a shallow, flat pan, arrange the marinated shrimp in a butterfly shape.
Gently flatten the shrimp using a plate weighted down with a heavy object.
In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add salt and pepper.
Add the flattened shrimp to the hot pan. Shake and turn frequently until the shrimp turn pink (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Add the white wine to the pan, shake, and turn the shrimp to coat them evenly. Cook for another minute.
Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter and minced garlic.
Spread the garlic butter evenly over each slice of French bread.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast until lightly golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
Place a cooked tiger shrimp on each toasted bread slice, top with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
(Optional) Use a toothpick to secure the shrimp in the middle if desired.
Broil the bread for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly browned, creating a 'fluffy pillow' effect. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
