Cheesy Garlic Shrimp Toasts

Instructions

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2. In a bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 3. Mix the melted butter and minced garlic in a small bowl.

Step 4. Place the baguette pieces on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with the garlic butter mixture.

Step 5. Bake the bread for 5 minutes until lightly toasted.

Step 6. Remove the bread from the oven and evenly distribute the seasoned shrimp over each piece.

Step 7. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the shrimp, then top with the Parmesan cheese.

Step 8. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the cheese.

Step 9. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10. Broil for 1–2 minutes if desired to achieve a golden-brown top.

Step 11. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 12. Let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover Cheesy Garlic Shrimp Toasts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

For best results, reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven or air fryer for 5–7 minutes until heated through and crispy.

Avoid reheating in the microwave, as the bread may become soggy.

These toasts are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can still be delicious when reheated properly.
