Equipment
Ingredients
For the garlic toasts:
- 5 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil avocado or grapeseed oil may be used
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 crusty baguette sliced into ½" slices, on an angle.
For the shrimp topping:
- 1 cup finely chopped cooked shrimp
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice lemon juice may be substituted
- ¾ cup chopped scallions white and green parts
- ½ teaspoon lemon pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425-degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
To make the garlic toast:
- Simmer the olive oil, garlic, and fresh time to a small saucepan over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, use a serrated knife to slice the baguette into ½" thick slices on an angle to produce more cut surface space. Place the sliced bread onto parchment lined baking sheets.
- After the oil has infused with the garlic and thyme, use a pastry brush to liberally apply the garlic oil to one side of each of the prepared sliced baguettes.
- Place the garlic toasts into the preheated oven and roast for 5-6 minutes being careful to keep an eye on them so they don't get too dark. Remove and cool.
- While the garlic toast is in the oven prepare the shrimp topping by placing the shrimp, cream cheese, mayo, lime juice scallions, lemon pepper, and melted butter into a large bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to thoroughly combine the ingredients into a creamy well incorporated mixture.
- Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the shrimp Rangoon mixture onto each garlic toast and spread it evenly to cover the entire slice.
- Place the shrimp Rangoon garlic toasts back into the oven to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the shrimp toast appetizers are lightly golden brown.
- Serve warm with an additional small sprig of thyme on each slice, if desired.
