Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Next, add the shrimp and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  5. Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture on each slice of bread.
  6. Top the cheese mixture with the cooked shrimp evenly across all slices.
  7. Brush the edges of the bread with melted butter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef’s Tips

  • For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the shrimp while cooking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or parmesan, for a unique twist.
  • These toasts can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated; just bake them when ready to serve.
