Sharon, Hit Me Over The Head, but... - cjs - 02-07-2008
This caught my eye - it's on the next page from the muffuletta finger sandwiches in the Holiday book -
Shrimp toasts
makes 28
Brush with melted Butter:
7 slices Texas toast-style bread, crusts removed
Mash; Stir in:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 egg yolks
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups cooked shrimp, chopped
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup scallions, sliced
Salt & cayenne to taste
Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Brush 1 side of each bread slice with butter; cut into quarters.
Mash cream cheese, yolks, and lemon juice together in a bowl with a fork till smooth.
Stir in shrimp, bell pepper, scallions, salt, and cayenne.
Moud about 1 T. shrimp mixture on each pieced of bread, then bake on the prepared baking sheet till puffed and golden, about 20 minutes.
Note: use a #100 scoop or a tablespoon to mound the shrimp on top of the buttered toasts.

I saw that one too, and thought it might be perfect for her wedding crowd - except I think she said no seafood or shellfish...Such a shame.

That sounds really really good too - but no seafood. . .
. Although the bride is feeling badly that Bob's brother won't have one of his faves - shrimp. I found my seriously over-stuffed 4" binder the other day and went through it this afternoon looking for some more ideas. Found one for little mini tostadas with guacamole and a little shrimp on top. I'm thinking a tray of those might be doable. The shrimp would be highly visible and the groom could eat a dump truck load of guacamole soooooo maybe she'll okay some.
I found lots of cool recipes - pulled out a pile that have to go to the front of the list. All those Bon Appetite's, Gourmet, etc. that I tore up - I sure wish I had them now. Oh well. Will have to resurrect some of the recipes and post the good ones.
Now the project for days with "nothing" to do is to scan all those recipes into Word documents and then putting them all in Mastercook. Sheesh - ought to take me until I'm 90!

Well, that's a coincidence, Jean, I saw this a couple of days ago and it sounded so good at the time.

I saw that - well, I saw the title of the book, but didn't read the article or the recipe. sounds good. The curry is a nice addition.
Re: Sharon, Hit Me Over The Head, but... - esgunn - 02-08-2008
Interesting. I am having a hard time "tasting" curry, smoked paprika and gruyere cheese... I just don't think of curry and cheese together. I don't really think of shrimp and cheese together either, unless it is cream cheese.
