Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces rock shrimp (or peeled medium shrimp, deveined)
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha (Asian chili sauce) or other chili sauce
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest, plus 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 medium baguette, sliced into 20 thin slices (less than 1/4 inch thick)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

Pulse shrimp, shallot, and ginger in a food processor until a coarse paste forms. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime zest and juice.
Heat broiler. Working in 2 batches, toast bread slices on a rimmed baking sheet 8 inches from heat source until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Remove from oven. Flip bread, generously brush tops with butter, and spread with a thin layer of shrimp paste (about 1 teaspoon each).
Broil until shrimp mixture is opaque and cooked through and toasts are browned, about 1 minute. Serve warm.
