Shrimp BLT image

This recipe originates from Food and Wine, my sister in law passed it along. It is FANTASTIC! Great as a salad on a bed of greens, served it on toasted sandwich rounds (the 100 cal ones) on croissants or as an hor d'oeuvre as originally intended on toasted baguette rounds.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 French bread, cut crosswise into thirty 1/4 inch slices
1 tablespoon olive oil

I thought this recipe was just okay. The shrimp were a little bland, and the sandwich was a little dry.

This sandwich was a little too messy for my taste. The shrimp were also a little overcooked.
