    List of Ingredients




    18 large (21-25 per pound) shrimp, cooked, shelled and de-veined
    6 medium radicchio leaves


    Brandied-Chive Dressing
    1/4 cup mayonnaise
    3 tablespoons prepared chili sauce
    2 teaspoons minced fresh chives
    3/4 teaspoon brandy
    1/2 teaspoon sherry vinegar
    Scant 1/8 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
    2 drops Tabasco or red hot sauce
    Pinch salt


    Garnish
    1 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley
    6 small sprigs curly parsley

    Recipe



    With a 2 3/4 or 3-inch round biscuit cutter, cut circles out of slices of firm white bread and toast lightly; set aside.

    Whisk the dressing ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate up to 6 hours ahead.

    Slice the shrimp in half lengthwise. Thinly slice the radicchio leaves and toss in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of the Brandied-Chive Dressing. Toss shrimp with the remaining dressing. Top 6 toasts evenly with the dressed radicchio and then arrange the shrimp slices overlapping on top.

    Sprinkle the sandwiches with chopped parsley. Serve each sandwich with a sprig of parsley on the side.
