Girl, let me tell you about this mouthwatering midnight snack that’ll have you doing a happy dance in your kitchen! As a Louisiana native, I’ve perfected this quick and easy Cajun Shrimp Toast that’s absolutely perfect for those late-night cravings when you want something fancy but don’t wanna spend forever in the kitchen.
Y’all, this isn’t your basic avocado toast – we’re taking it to the next level with some serious New Orleans flair! Trust me, once you try this, you’ll be making it every time those midnight munchies hit.
Here’s what you’ll need (serves 2):
– 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 4 thick slices of French bread
– 2 tablespoons butter (real butter, honey – none of that fake stuff!)
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Cajun seasoning (I like it spicy, but you do you!)
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
– 2 tablespoons mayo
– Hot sauce (Crystal is my go-to)
Now, let me walk you through this magic, sugar!
1. First, melt that butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and let it get all fragrant and delicious (about 30 seconds).
1. Season those shrimp with Cajun seasoning and toss them in the pan. Cook until they’re pink and curled up like little C’s (about 2-3 minutes per side).
1. While your shrimp are doing their thing, toast that bread until it’s golden brown. Mix your mayo with a dash of hot sauce and spread it on each slice.

1. Chop those cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces and divide them between your toast slices.
1. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, and if you’re feeling extra spicy (like I always am), add another dash of hot sauce.
The result? A crispy, creamy, spicy piece of heaven that’ll have you wondering why you haven’t been making this all along! The combination of butter-garlic shrimp with that kick of Cajun seasoning on crispy toast is absolutely everything!
Pro tip: If you’re really feeling fancy, add a little remoulade sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice on top. And don’t be afraid to adjust the spice level – we all have different heat tolerances!
