CREAMY GARLIC SHRIMP TOAST

Steps:

• Butterfly shrimp and place in a mixing bowl. Add cayenne, paprika, and garlic and stir until shrimp are evenly coated. Refrigerate until needed.
• Trim most of the crusts off of the bread.
• Add 4 tablespoons melted butter to a skillet over medium heat. Add both slices of bread and toast until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove bread to a plate and wipe out any crumbs.
• Add remaining melted butter to the skillet and increase heat to high. When the pan is very hot and you see the first wisp of smoke, add shrimp and use tongs to spread into an even layer. Sear, without stirring or tossing, for 1 minute.
• Sprinkle with lemon zest and add lemon juice and cream. Stir with a spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom. Let cream boil and reduce for 1 ½ to 2 minutes as the shrimp finishes cooking and the sauce thickens up.
• Turn off the heat and stir in parsley. Taste and add salt if needed.
• Divide shrimp and sauce evenly over each piece of toasted bread.

SHRIMP TOAST

Steps:

• Combine the shrimp, egg, egg white, green onions, parsley, garlic, salt, and white pepper in a food processor and process until blended but still slightly chunky. Add the cream cheese and pulse until smooth and thick. Add the cream and pulse just until blended, being careful not to over process.
• Spread 1/4 cup of the shrimp mixture onto each slice of bread, spreading to the edges and smoothing the top.
• Heat the vegetable oil to 360 degrees F in large deep skillet. Add the shrimp toast in batches, coated sides down, and fry until golden on the first side, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the second side, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• To serve, cut each toast diagonally into quarters. Serve hot, with a drizzle of duck sauce or a dab of pepper jelly, as desired.

CREAM CHICKEN ON TOAST

• Melt butter, add flour making a paste. Remove from heat and gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Return to heat and bring to a boil, add chicken and salt and pepper to taste. Allow chicken to become hot and remove from heat to serve on toast.

NORDIC SHRIMP TOAST

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the coriander, 2 dill sprigs, half of the lemon zest and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Let boil for 1 minute, remove the saucepan from the heat, add the shrimp and cover the pot. Let the shrimp sit, covered, until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Drain the shrimp and chill in ice water. Once chilled, remove and blot dry. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Chop 2 tablespoons dill fronds and add it to a small bowl along with the juice of half the lemon and the remaining zest. Add the cream cheese and yogurt to the bowl and stir to combine. Spread each slice of toast with the cream cheese mixture.
• Lay as many shrimp as will fit flat between 2 plastic deli container lids; the tops of the lids should be facing each other. Making a fist, press down on the top lid to keep the shrimp in place. Position a sharp knife between the narrow opening of the lids and use a sawing motion to slice the shrimp in half at one time. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. Alternatively, slice on a cutting board.
• Arrange the shrimp (cut-side down), cucumber and radish slices in overlapping decorative rows -- think fish scales -- to cover each toast. Sprinkle each with the remaining dill fronds.

MINCED CHICKEN ON TOAST

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small pan, and add the mushrooms and scallion. Cook gently for about 5 minutes, to soften. Splash in the Madeira, and cook down until syrupy.
• Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and heat through, stirring in enough of the cream sauce to bind the chicken or use heavy cream. Spoon everything over toast, and sprinkle a little tarragon on top.
• I like to surround my mince with a green vegetable, such as asparagus or peas when in season.
• Variations
• This mince is good made with the remains of a holiday turkey, and if you have some chestnuts left over, by all means use a couple of them, roughly chopped, in place of the mushrooms.
• Another accompaniment I tried recently was some young milkweed pods, their tender leaves and buds still closed. I steamed them for about 8 minutes, then bathed them in sweet butter and a few drops of lemon. It made for an early-summer treat, just right with an old-fashioned New England mince.
