Shrimp Salad Crostinis

Arctic Shores

½ cup creamy ranch dressing

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 ½ cups frozen 150-200 count peeled salad shrimp, thawed

¾ cup snow pea pods, blanched, sliced

¼ cup diced red bell pepper

8 (1/2-inch) slices sourdough bread

Olive oil

In small mixing bowl, combine ranch dressing, dill and cayenne pepper; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl combine shrimp, pea pods and bell peppers. 

No snow peas at Ken's, so I bought a thing of frozen stir-fry veggies and picked the snap peas out of it. Unfortunately there weren't nearly as many pods in there as the recipe called for.


Toss with dressing; salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate several hours.

Meanwhile, cut bread slices in half diagonally. Place on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake in a preheated 400F oven until toasted (6-8 minutes); cool.

Divide salad among crostinis. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs, if desired.

Hooray for gluten-free sourdough!


My Rating: 4/5 "This is an unusual combination of things, but it works. The cayenne is a welcome addition and gives everything more pizzazz than your average cream-covered seafood salad. I also appreciated the interesting element the bell peppers brought. Just eat these fast before the bread gets sogged!"
