Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Chives (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 20 thin slices about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange them on a baking sheet and brush both sides with melted butter.
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Let them cool.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with chopped dill and chives. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove shrimp from the marinade and cook them for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread a small dollop of the herb cream cheese mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Top each baguette slice with one cooked shrimp. Garnish with a small sprig of dill or chives if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful Marinated Shrimp Canapés!
