Cajun Shrimp Toast
Made With:
Shrimp toast, but make it extra. Crispy, cheesy, umami-packed, and just a little fancy —thanks to a hit of Club House® Cajun Seasoning, Garlic Powder, and ground Black Pepper. It’s the kind of appetizer that looks like you spent hours on it... but really took minutes. Perfect for dinner parties, date nights, or when you just want to flex your home chef era. Crispy edges. Cheesy centre. Bold flavour in every bite. Recipe and Photo Credit: Sylvia Nguyen @nguyenfoodstall

Instructions
- Prep the Shrimp Paste: Smash shrimp with a mallet or pulse in a food processor until mixture resembles a chunky paste (don’t over-blend—some texture is nice).
- Mix the Filling: Combine shrimp paste, chopped imitation crab, mayo, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, fish sauce, mozzarella, and 2 of the sliced green onions in a medium bowl. Mix until well blended.
- Prep the Bread: Arrange baguette slices on large, parchment-lined sheet pan. Brush tops lightly with oil, if desired.
- Top the Toasts: Spoon a generous layer of the shrimp mixture onto each slice, spreading edge-to-edge so it bakes evenly and stays juicy.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake Shrimp Toasts 10 to 15 minutes until shrimp is opaque and the tops are golden and bubbly. Pro tip: For extra color, broil 1 to 2 minutes at the end—watch closely!
- Finish and Serve: Garnish with remaining green onion. Serve hot and crispy.
Sylvia’s Tips:
- If the shrimp mixture seems too thick when mixing, add 1 more tablespoon of mayo… Too loose? Fold in a bit more mozzarella.
- To make in the Air Fryer, heat to 370°F (188°C). Air fry toasts, working in batches as needed for 6 to 9 minutes.
- Food safety: Shrimp should be opaque and firm when cooked through.
- To make ahead, mix the topping up to a day ahead; keep refrigerated in an air tight container. Top toasts and bake when ready to serve.
