It is called Shrimp Crostini, but I took the liberty of calling it Shrimp and Tomato Crostini so the recipe stands out. Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup mayonnaise |
5 garlic cloves, minced and divided |
2 tablespoons green onions, minced |
1 tablespoon black pepper |
2 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, minced |
24 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined |
24 french bread, slices toasted |
cherry tomatoes, halved for garnish |
fresh parsley leaves, for garnish |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, 2 minced garlic cloves, green onion and pepper. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add remaining 3 cloves garlic and parsley. Add shrimp. Cook 3 to 4 minutes until done.
3. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over French bread slices. Top each slice with 1 shrimp, 1 cherry tomato half and one parsley leaf.
