BROILED SHRIMP WITH GARLIC BUTTER
Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Place the butter in a small bowl and stir in the garlic, shallots, parsley, lemon juice and salt. Cut the shrimp in half lengthwise, leaving them attached at the tail. Spread the shrimp open and arrange them in a shallow, oval flameproof casserole. Top the shrimp with generous dabs of the butter mixture and pour fumet or water into the dish. Broil the shrimp until they are cooked through, about 4 minutes. Arrange the shrimp in a line across 4 plates, so that the tail of each shrimp fits inside the shrimp in front of it. Whisk the liquid in the casserole dish and pour it over the shrimp. Serve immediately.
- Remove the gills and eyes from the fish or have your fish store do it. Cut the heads and bones across into 4-inch pieces. Put them in a shallow pan and cover with cold water. Let stand for 1 hour, changing the water twice. Drain. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel, leek, peppercorns, salt, parsley and bay leaf. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook until the vegetables are softened but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add the fish bones and cook, stirring from time to time, until the bones and any flesh around the bones turn from translucent to white, about 12 minutes. Add the wine and water and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes, skimming off the foam as it rises to the top. Remove from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes. Strain the fumet through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing firmly on the solids to extract as much of the flavorful liquid as possible. If you have more than 3 cups of fumet, place the liquid in a clean saucepan and boil until reduced to 3 cups. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

CAJUN-STYLE BROILED SHRIMP
Shrimp, the most versatile seafood, is now the most popular in America, and there is no wrong way to eat it. Wild shrimp from the Pacific or the Gulf of Mexico is a treat if you can find it. Fresh local shrimp from Maine or the Carolinas is an even rarer gem. (These are all preferable from a sustainability perspective.) A vast majority, of course, is farmed and frozen. If you buy it ''individually quick frozen'' in resealable bags, you can take out only as many as you want and thaw them by leaving the shrimp in the fridge for 24 hours or running them under cool water for an hour or less. Here, it is made Cajun with cayenne, paprika and garlic and quickly broiled.

Tips:
- Choose fresh shrimp: Opt for shrimp that are firm, translucent, and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are discolored, slimy, or have a strong odor.
- Properly devein the shrimp: Deveining removes the digestive tract from the shrimp, resulting in a cleaner and more flavorful bite. Use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp and remove the dark vein.
- Use high-quality bread: The bread serves as the base for the canapés, so it's essential to use good-quality bread. Look for a sturdy bread that can hold up to the toppings without getting soggy.
- Spread a flavorful compound butter: Compound butter adds a rich and flavorful layer to the canapés. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and citrus zests to create a unique and delicious spread.
- Broil the canapés until golden brown: Broiling gives the canapés a crispy exterior and a tender interior. Keep an eye on the canapés while broiling to ensure they don't burn.
Conclusion:
Broiled shrimp canapés are an elegant and delicious appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With their crispy bread, flavorful compound butter, and succulent shrimp, these canapés are sure to impress your guests. Experiment with different compound butter flavors and toppings to create unique and personalized canapés that reflect your taste and style.
