Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Fresh dill (chopped, plus extra for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices White sandwich bread (crusts removed)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 Radishes (thinly sliced, optional)
- 0.25 cup Microgreens (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the chopped shrimp to the cream cheese mixture and gently fold it in until evenly incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Lay out the slices of bread and spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice. This will prevent the filling from making the bread soggy.
Take half of the bread slices and evenly distribute the shrimp mixture onto the buttered side of each slice, spreading the filling to the edges.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side down, to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, gently cut each sandwich into triangles or other desired shapes for an elegant presentation.
If desired, garnish each sandwich with a thinly sliced radish, a sprig of dill, or a sprinkling of microgreens for a pretty and pink finish.
Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Best enjoyed fresh!
