 Shrimp toast, a classic appetizer in Chinese restaurants is a simple affair -minced shrimp spread on bread triangles and then either baked or deep fried. Even though I love it, I thought the classic shrimp toast recipe was ripe for an update!   I combined the flavors of my favorite shrimp scampi with white wine with the classic shrimp toast recipe, for an easy  “awards worthy” appetizer! Baked instead of fried, these shrimp toasts are easy to make with just a few ingredients…

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE Scampi Style Shrimp Toast:

• shallots
• dry white wine
• lemon juice
• lemon zest
• capers
• garlic
• chili flakes
• olive oil
• salt and pepper
• italian parsley
• baguette slices

HOW TO MAKE THIS SHRIMP TOAST RECIPE:

step #1: A small food processor comes in handy for chopping up the shallots and garlic, but if you don’t have one, you can easily do all of this by hand…

Step #2: After chopping up the shallots and garlic, add the shrimp, lemon juice, lemon zest, red pepper and the wine…

Step #3: Spread a thin layer on the baguette slices and then pop them into the oven…

Step #4: And then serve with a nice chilled glass of wine!

Tips for Making Scampi Style Shrimp Toast:

• The shrimp mixture can be made several hours ahead of time. Just cover and refrigerate.
• Athough I specified 25 count shrimp, you can use any shrimp that you have. Since the shrimp is chopped, the size of the shrimp really doesn’t matter. You want to end up with about 1 cup of chopped shrimp.
• I used baguette slices but any firm white bread can be used.
• If you don’t have a food processor, you can chop the ingredients by hand.
