Description
A delightful seafood appetizer featuring baked shrimp on crispy baguette slices topped with a creamy, zesty mixture of fresh herbs and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb jumbo shrimp (peeled)
- 1 tsp cooking oil (if needed)
- 1/2 cup finely sliced celery
- 2 green scallions (diced)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried onion powder
- 1 French baguette (sliced)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill (for garnish)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- If using raw shrimp, rinse them under cold water and pat dry. For pre-cooked shrimp, chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- Combine the shrimp, celery, scallions, parsley, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a mixing bowl and stir until well coated.
- Lay the baguette slices on the baking sheet and drizzle with cooking oil if desired. Spoon the shrimp mixture generously over each slice.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the shrimp are heated through and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh dill and chives before serving warm.
Notes
Make the shrimp mixture ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for easier preparation. Avoid overcooking the shrimp to maintain tenderness.
