Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Fresh baguette
- 20 pieces Cooked shrimp
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Optional garnish: lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 20 thin rounds, about 1/2-inch thick.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush both sides with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove and let cool.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Top each canapé with a piece of cooked shrimp, pressing it gently into the cream cheese mixture to help it adhere.
Garnish with a small sprig of fresh dill and, if desired, a pinch of lemon zest for a burst of citrus flavor.
Arrange the canapés on a serving platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
