A riff on the classic shrimp toast recipe, I combined the flavors of my favorite shrimp scampi with white wine with a classic shrimp toast recipe, for an easy “awards worthy” appetizer! Baked instead of fried, these Scampi Shrimp Toasts are easy to make with just a few ingredients…
What you will need to make Baked Shrimp Scampi:

- 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, chile flakes and the wine…
Step #3: Spread a thin layer of the shrimp mixture on the baguette slices and then pop them into the oven…
