Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and cooked)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Scallions (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 pieces Bread slices (sourdough or any sturdy bread)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
Instructions
Preheat the broiler on high and adjust the oven rack to the upper-middle position.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, scallions, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well blended.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is evenly distributed in the shrimp mixture.
Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread and place them on a baking sheet, buttered side down.
Evenly spread the shrimp mixture over the unbuttered side of each bread slice, making sure to cover the surface.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the shrimp melts from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Shrimp Melts!
