Canapés with Shrimp
Description
The recipe won’t take much time. Canapés are a one-bite appetizer, so you can buy portioned croutons or tartlets for the base in the store, or toast them yourself at home. For the filling layer, processed cheese, a thick cheese sauce, or cheese and egg pâtés work отлично. Choose products that will highlight the shrimp flavor. Don’t forget fresh herbs for garnish.

Prepare the listed ingredients. Peel the shrimp, removing the shells and the vein, trimming the tails. Place them in a small bowl and pour boiling water over them. Since the seafood is pre-cooked and frozen, there’s no need to boil it again.
