Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, finely chopped
- 1 cup imitation crab meat, finely chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 8 slices white sandwich bread
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tbsp chopped chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, add the chopped shrimp, chopped imitation crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients until they are well combined and form a creamy seafood spread. Set aside.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of white sandwich bread slightly to make it easier to layer and cut.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice to act as a moisture barrier.
Spread an even layer of the seafood mixture on four slices of bread, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Place the remaining four bread slices, buttered side down, on top of the seafood spread to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the crusts off the sandwiches to create neat edges.
Cut each sandwich into four small squares or triangles, depending on your desired presentation.
If desired, garnish each sandwich with a small sprinkle of chopped chives for added color and flavor.
Arrange the tea sandwiches on a serving platter and serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh until ready to serve.
