With summer in full swing, the get-togethers are in motion and I’ve got the perfect shrimp toast recipe that will please any crowd! These little babies couldn’t be easier to make and by baking them instead of pan frying, there’s a lot less grease and lots of flavor!

I popped into my local Winn Dixie to grab a La Brea Bakery Take and Bake French baguette which is my favorite to use for this recipe! Please find the super easy recipe below:
Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
- 1 pack of La Brea Take & Bake French baguette
- 1/2 lb. shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 garlic cloves (chopped)
- 1 shallot clove (chopped)
- 2 green onion stalks (chopped)
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1 cup Mexican blend cheese
- 3 TBS of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 TBS sesame oil
- Seasoning of choice
- Dried Parsley for garnishing
- 1 TBS fresh ginger (optional) (chopped)
Directions:
1.) Cut French baguette into 1-inch slices, brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the slices and bake at 350 for 5 minutes.
2.) While bread bakes, chop shrimp into tiny pieces. Chop garlic cloves, shallots, and green onions.
3.) Saute garlic and shallot and remove bread from oven.
4.) Season shrimp and add to garlic, shallot, and ginger.
5.) Drizzle in sesame oil, add green onions. It’s smelling amazing at this point!
6.) Mix together well. Take off of the heat and sit to the side.
7.) Mix in Mexican blend cheese and mayo.
8.) Add a tablespoon of the shrimp mixture to the top of each baguette round.
9.) Bake for 8-10 minutes.
10.) Sprinkle dried parsley on top and ENJOY!
La Brea Take & Bake bread is par baked which is why I like to pop the baguette rounds into the oven first. By the time the recipe is complete, the shrimp toast is nice and chewy on the inside with the crusty exterior we love. In addition to the shrimp toast, La Brea Take & Bake bread would be perfect to pop on the grill this summer for a perfect grilled cheese sandwich! If you decide to give this recipe a try, be sure to stop by your neighborhood Winn Dixie for a few bags of La Brea Bakery Take & Bake bread and let me know how it turned out for you! As always, thanks so much for stopping by!
