This is the best shrimp crostini appetizer recipe, try it and see!
Every bite is filled with zesty flavor because
all the ingredients are well chosen to blend together beautifully.
It is excellent served along with other appetizers and especially
outstanding with a glass of good wine or beer.
This is one of my favorite appetizer recipes to serve before a dinner or to take
to a social to share.
The first time I made this I was asked for the recipe by several
diners.
You can substitute crab for the shrimp or use a combination of both together...
either way this shrimp crostini is a keeper!
an easy appetizer
everyone loves
prepare baguette slices ahead of time,
then
just before serving spread the seafood mixture onto the crostini
