Shrimp and Herbed Garlic Mayonnaise on Toast
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound or so large shrimp; peeled, deveined and cooked (figure three shrimp per toast)
- 6 slices of baguette or similar bread; about an inch thick (figure two or three toasts per person)
- olive oil for the bread if toasting on a grill

Instructions
- Prepare the garlic mayonnaise by whirling the garlic cloves along with the parsley in a food processor until finely chopped. Add to the mayonnaise. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Toast the bread however you like. I brushed mine with olive oil and toasted them on a grill pan.

- Generously spread the herb mayonnaise on the toast and top with three shrimp.
- Arrange on a tray and garnish with chopped parsley and sliced lemon as desired.
