Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 4h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 loaf Italian bread, cut in thin slices toasted with just a drizzle of olive oil
8 ounces shrimp, diced fine (canned will work, but fresh is much better)
1 teaspoon butter (to saute shrimp)
6 ounces cream cheese
4 ounces crabmeat (lump or claw is fine, canned will work too)
3 scallions, chopped fine green only
2 tablespoons brandy
1 teaspoon fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saute pan, add the butter and heat to medium heat. Saute the shrimp and garlic until done. It will take just a minute or two.
  • Remove shrimp to cool.
  • Now in a medium size bowl, add the shrimp with the cream cheese (room temp), brandy, Worcestershire, hot sauce, seasoning, and fresh dill and mix will. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for several hours. (2 or more to get all the flavors mixed).
  • Toast the bread (I like a little olive oil drizzled on it). Golden brown. Just takes 2 minutes per side in a 425F oven.
  • Lightly toss the shrimp mix with the crab and scallions and spread on the warm bread.
  • That just as an open face sandwich is just perfect to me. A nice bowl of soup and can't get much better.
  • Or just just put on a hot griddle, grill or saute pan for just 2-3 minutes to heat up and press down and just as good. Either way, it is a great sandwich.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality seafood: Fresh crab and shrimp are essential for making delicious mini sandwiches. Look for seafood that is firm and has a briny smell. Avoid seafood that is slimy or has an off odor.
  • Cook the seafood properly: Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy. Crab and shrimp should be cooked just until they are opaque and tender. Avoid overcooking, as this will make the seafood dry and tough.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: A marinade helps to add flavor and moisture to the seafood. Use a marinade that contains herbs, spices, and citrus. Marinate the seafood for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the seafood over medium-high heat: Grilling helps to give the seafood a smoky flavor and crispy texture. Grill the seafood for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the seafood on toasted bread: Toasted bread helps to soak up the juices from the seafood. Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the weight of the seafood. Serve the sandwiches with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and avocado.

Conclusion:

Grilled crab and shrimp mini sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer party or a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a seafood dish that is both delicious and easy to make, give grilled crab and shrimp mini sandwiches a try.
