    Recipe Introduction


    a very special hors d'oeuvre, you can make it ahead of time and take with you to a party

    List of Ingredients




    2 Baguettes, freshly baked, sliced 1/4 inch thick
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    8 oz. seafood (crab or shrimp or a combination of both, chopped coarsely)
    1 large red bell pepper, small dice
    3 tablespoons Best Foods mayonnaise
    2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
    1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
    1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    2 teaspoons Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated
    4 to 5 drops Tabasco Sauce (I used more)
    Kosher salt

    Recipe



    Toast the baguette slices:
    Lightly brush each side with oil place in dry skillet over med-hi heat. Cook on each side until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, place on paper towels. The bread can be toasted ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature and used anytime.

    In bowl, combine 8 oz. seafood, red bell pepper, mayonnaise, parsley, chives, limejuice, Dijon mustard, Parmesan and Tabasco, blend well. Add Kosher salt to taste.

    Spread mixture on each slice of toasted baguette. Lay a shrimp that you have cut in two lengthwise on each baguette, add a small parsley leaf and serve.
