These cheesy shrimp tea sandwiches were super easy to make and uber delicious. You can’t go wrong with this list of ingredients!
I invited my sisters and their families over for dinner this past Sunday and they were all raving about these fantastic little tea sandwiches. You’ll want to pin these for future reference!
My husband’s cousin, Angelina shared this recipe with us for her “shrimp sandwiches.” Thanks Angelina for another great recipe. New favorite for sure! P.S. Angelina is also the genius behind:
I am so blessed to know some fabulous cooks! Thanks so much for sharing!
Ingredients for Shrimp and Cheese Canapés:
1/2 lb cooked shrimp plus more for garnish (the extra for garnish is totally optional and completely unnecessary lol)
1 long Baguette bread
1/2 cup Mayo
2 cloves garlic
1/2 bunch parsley
1/2 bunch dill (fresh or frozen)
1 cup of three cheese Mexican blend shredded cheese
How to Make the Best Shrimp Tea Sandwiches:
1. Click here for a tutorial on perfect boiled shrimp. Rinse the cooked shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Peel shrimp and coarsely chop into small peaces. Transfer shrimp to a medium bowl.
2. Chop parsley and dill, mince garlic and transfer to the mixing bowl. Add in the rest of your spread ingredients: 1 cup cheese, 1/2 cup mayo. Stir it all together and you have your spread. Easy ain’t it?
3. Cut your bread into 1/2-inch slices. Spread the mixture generously over the bread slices, place it in the oven at 350˚F to melt the cheese and sizzle the shrimp a tad (8-10 minutes).
We don’t make gimpy sandwiches around these parts.
8-10 minutes later they look like this. Please exercise self control.
Lots and lots of self control…
You can really jazz these up by adding a sautéed shrimp over the top, but they’re just as good without it. I was trying really hard to be fancy. I served these on Sunday without the extra shrimp. No one cared. They were too busy gobbling these up.
