With the right recipes entertaining can be quite fun and rewarding. I mean honestly who doesn’t love people bragging about what a great cook they are. These Shrimp Toast are a take off on the Chinese Fried Shrimp Toast only they are baked and they have a Cajun twist to them. They are flavor packed and extremely easy to make. My friends and family just love them.

How To Make baked shrimp toast

  • 1
    Turn broiler on low. Put bread slices on baking sheet in single layer. Place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn slices over and put back under the broiler to lightly brown the other side.
  • 2
    Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, onion and celery. Cook for 1 minute stirring frequently. Add the garlic and sprinkle the skillet with the Cajun seasoning and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Reduce heat to very low. Add cream cheese, Parmesan and Fontina. Stir until the cheese is blended and almost fully melted.
  • 3
    Top the toasted baguette slices evenly with the shrimp mixture. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper and place in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly. Serve immediately.

    NOTES Broilers are very unpredictable so please use my times for the toasting the baguette slices as an estimate. For even more browning turn on the broiler the last minute of baking the shrimp toasts but keep in mind that parchment paper can catch on fire.
