This appetizer is so simple and so delicious! I know there are many people that say you should not combine seafood with cheese, well they have never tried this recipe! So GOOD! Robby was a little skeptical at first but all it took was one bite before he was reaching for another piece! I found this recipe over at www.jamhands.com but felt that the measurements were a little skimpy so I doubled the recipe for the topping and I am thrilled I did! The recipe below are MY measurements.
INGREDIENTS
1 pound cooked shrimp
2 tablespoons of butter
2 teaspoons of Old Bay seasoning
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1 large ciabatta loaf, sliced in half
1 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup fresh dill
1/2 cup fresh chives
3 cloves of garlic
2 cups cheddar jack cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove the tails from the shrimp and set aside. In a large sauté pan melt the butter over medium heat, add the shrimp and the old bay seasoning. Cook for just a couple minutes making sure the shrimp is well coated with the seasoning. Remove from heat and let cool. When cool chop the shrimp into pieces. Place the shrimp into a medium bowl with mayo,garlic, chives, dill and cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently until well combined. Place the ciabatta bread on a baking sheet with the cut sides facing up. Spread you shrimp mixture onto both sides of the bread and bake for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove from oven, slice into sticks and serve warm.
