Shrimp toast recreation.
Not the most faithful recreation, but it close.
I made a sauce with mayo, lemon juice, pepper sauce, a drop of ketchup, honey, garlic powder.
In another bowl, olive oil, garlic and onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper, Parmesan.
I took the crust off of slices of bread from a local bakery, dipped both sides in the olive oil, laid them on the baking pan.
I had left over shrimp in the fridge, cut them in half lengthwise, tossed them in the same olive oil mix and placed them on the oiled bread.
Baked them for 10 minutes at 375F.
Topped with the sauce and cilantro. I had no basil. Everyone at the party couldn’t get enough of them.
The second picture comes from the wine bar that inspired me: chicken croquette in a cacio pepe, the shrimp toast, and a puff pastry with whipped Gorgonzola and a thick slab of bacon.
