Ingredients
For the shrimp filling:
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)
For the garlic toasts:
1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch slices
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly. Once cooled, chop the shrimp into small pieces and set aside.
- Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the shrimp: Stir in the chopped shrimp until evenly distributed through the cream cheese mixture.
- Prepare the Garlic Toasts: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the baguette slices.
- Toast the bread: Bake the baguette slices in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble the Shrimp Rangoon Toasts: Once the garlic toasts are ready, spoon the shrimp cream cheese filling generously onto each toasted slice. For an extra golden, bubbly top, broil the toasts for 2-3 minutes until the filling starts to brown and bubble.
- Garnish: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chives and extra parsley, if desired.
- Serve: Serve the Shrimp Rangoon Garlic Toasts warm with your favorite dipping sauces like sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or a spicy mayo.
Notes
Add a little bit of cream cheese with herbs to the filling for extra flavor.
Mix in some chopped green onions or diced red bell pepper for a pop of color and flavor.
Make them extra cheesy by adding some shredded mozzarella or Parmesan on top before broiling.
Substitute shrimp with crab meat or lobster for a luxurious twist.
