Elegant all-in-one shrimp cocktail bites bring bread, dip and seafood together beautifully. If you’d like to forgo the bread, the cocktail sauce alone is a great dip for shrimp. It also make an ideal topper for broiled fish.

7 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed

1 tbsp butter, melted

28 frozen cooked peeled medium shrimp, thawed, tails removed and rinsed (about 300 grams)

Fresh cilantro leaves

Cocktail Sauce

1/4 cup light mayonnaise

2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves

1 tbsp prepared horseradish

2 tsp tomato based chili sauce

1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice bread to 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness.: cut each into 4 squares. Brush cups of mini muffin tin with half of the butter. Press square into each well; brush with remaining butter. Bake in 400 F oven (200 C) until golden, about 6 minutes. Let cool on rack. (Make ahead: Let stand at room temperature for up to 3 hours.)

Cocktail Sauce: Meanwhile, in bowl, stir together mayonnaise, cilantro, horseradish, chili sauce and Worcestershire sauce. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

Fill each toast cup with about 1/2 tsp of the sauce; top with shrimp. Garnish with cilantro.

 
These sound great. I am making these for our holiday appetizer get together parties. Thanks!

As always, Sylvia, your recipes are winners!

 
I like having bread around for this purpose is a swell idea. I make an oyster filling and a mushroom

filling for toast cups, but this one sounds so much better.


Thanks Sylvia. Gonna try them.

Hey, how was the trip??

 
Marg, the trip was fabulous. We enjoyed really beautiful weather for 3 weeks

in Torremolinos. We visited many cities nearby........Malaga, Seville, Granada, Nerja etc. I worried that I would not be able to keep up the pace with all the walking but everything went well. (After my two knee surgeries in 2012 I've had to relearn how to walk which has been a challenge.) I even went through the cave complex in Nerja which was an amazing accomplishment.

I would highly recommend a trip to Torremolinos. A car rental is not necessary because there's terrific public transportation, buses and trains, which go to the other cities nearby.

 
Thanks Sylvia. Winners indeed! The cheese balls will make it to thanksgiving , bacon onion for sure
