Yield Makes 40

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup bottled clam juice
10 ounces medium uncooked shrimp, peeled, deveined
2 cups thinly sliced green onions
2/3 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Hungarian sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 ounces flaked crabmeat (about 2 cups lightly packed)
1/3 cup (about) olive oil
40 1/4-inch-thick diagonal slices sourdough baguette
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Bring clam juice to simmer in large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp; cover and simmer until opaque, turning once, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to cutting board; coarsely chop shrimp. Place shrimp in small bowl. Boil cooking liquid until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 2 minutes. Cool.
  • Mix onions and next 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Stir in shrimp, cooking liquid and crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly brush oil over both sides of each bread slice. Arrange bread on baking sheet in single layer. Bake until bread is crisp and golden, about 4 minutes per side. Cool. (Seafood salad and toasts can be made 1 day ahead. Keep seafood salad chilled. Store toasts airtight at room temperature.)
  • Spread seafood salad evenly over toasts. Arrange on serving dish. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.

I followed the recipe exactly and the crostini turned out perfectly. The crab and shrimp salad was delicious, but I found it to be a bit too spicy. Next time I make this, I'll use less cayenne pepper.

This is a great recipe for a party. The crostini are easy to make ahead of time and the crab and shrimp salad can be made the day before. It's a delicious and impressive appetizer.

The spiced crab and shrimp salad is delicious, but I found the crostini to be a bit too dry. Next time I make this, I'll try using a different type of bread.
