- Reviews 1
Ready In: 35 mins
Serves: 10-12
Ingredients
- 1 baguette, thin sliced, toasted
- 1 lb medium cooked shrimp, peeled and tails removed
- 1⁄2 cup water chestnut, chopped fine
- 3 scallions, green and white parts chopped fine
- 1⁄2 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 large egg, separated
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon vodka
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped fine
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (to brush on the toast)
- 3 tablespoons water
Directions
- Bread -- just brush with melted butter and bake at 375 until golden brown, flip to make sure both sides are golden. Just a few minutes per side is all it takes.
- Shrimp -- add the shrimp to the food processor but make sure they are not wet. Slightly puree, for just a few seconds and then add the egg white, cream, salt and pepper.
- Transfer to a bowl and add the water chestnuts, ginger, scallions, salt, pepper and parsley.
- Time to make the toast -- On the very nicely toasted baguettes, spread a teaspoon or 2 of the shrimp mix on top. Top with the egg yolk mixed with the water, just to give it a nice topping (or a light glaze) as it bakes.
- Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes on a lined cookie sheet either with foil or parchment. Just make sure the shrimp topping is heated through.
