Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely divine seafood treat that’s been my go-to midnight craving crusher! I stumbled upon this recipe during one of those can’t-sleep nights, and honey, it’s been a game-changer. Let’s dive into my Crispy Garlic Butter Shrimp Toast – it’s fancy enough to impress but easy enough to whip up when those late-night munchies hit!
First things first, let’s gather our ingredients (because running to the store at midnight is NOT the move):
– 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 4 thick slices of brioche bread
– 4 tablespoons butter (don’t you dare use margarine!)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– Fresh parsley
– Red pepper flakes (optional, but live a little!)
– Salt and pepper to taste
Now, let me walk you through this heavenly creation:
1. Start by chopping your shrimp into small pieces. Think confetti-sized – we want them to stick to our toast!
1. In a pan, melt that butter until it’s bubbly (just like your personality, hun). Add the garlic and let it get all fragrant – about 30 seconds. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
1. Toast your brioche slices until they’re golden brown. Trust me, brioche makes EVERYTHING better!
1. Now, toss those shrimp pieces into the garlic butter. They’ll cook super quick – about 2-3 minutes until pink.
