Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh shrimp cooked, peeled, deveined, and tails removed,
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried ground thyme
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning divided (I used Zatarain's)
- 7 ounces package toasted French bread rounds about 24
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Dice the shrimp into bite-size pieces.
- Add the shrimp, mayonnaise, sour cream, mozzarella, parmesan, thyme, salt, pepper, onion powder, and one teaspoon of the creole seasoning to a large bowl. Mix well.
- Place the toasted rounds on a baking sheet and top each with a spoonful of the topping. Sprinkle with a pinch of creole seasoning and bake for six to eight minutes, or until the cheese melts and topping is lightly browned.
- Serve immediately or at room temperature.
Notes
For convenience, I like to use purchased toasted french bread rounds or baguette slices in this recipe. If you can't find them, you can slice a baguette and into rounds and toast it prior to topping it with the shrimp mixture. You can also substitute toasted Texas toast cut into quarters, or French bread.
You can purchase shrimp already cooked and seasoned from your favorite grocery or seafood store, or you can roast your own using my easy 10 Minute Roasted Shrimp recipe.
To make this dish ahead, you can prepare the topping up to 48 hours beforehand. Keep it covered and in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake it.
This appetizer is about six or seven on a scale of one to ten on the spicy scale. If you would like to dial back the heat, reduce the amount of creole seasoning, and do not add it to the top before baking.
You can use frozen cooked shrimp in this recipe, and they should do fine. Just be sure to let them thaw and dry them off before adding them to the topping mixture. I have never tried canned and I don't know how they would work.
