Steps:
- Heat butter in a medium sauce pan and cook onion until soft and translucent. Add garlic and lemon juice. When garlic is just soft add heavy cream, mustard and tarragon. Let sauce cook on med-low heat for 30 minutes to reduce by half, stirring occasionally. In a large skillet heat the butter and add shrimp. Toss with salt, pepper and garlic. Cook about 80% through about 1 - 2 minutes (shrimp will continue to cook in sauce). While shrimp are cooking, cut French bread into ½ inch rounds and drizzle with olive oil. Toast in an oven or broiler until crisp. Add the whiskey to the shrimp and flambé to burn it off. Add sauce to cover shrimp in pan and reduce heat to low. Plate the bread toasts and top with 1 shrimp each. Drizzle sauce generously over shrimp and bread.
SHRIMP TOAST
For the most part, the shrimp will tell you when they're done. Certainly they're ready once they're pink, though very large shrimp may need an extra minute to cook through. To check, slice one in half; if it's opaque, or even nearly so, season to taste and start eating.

Steps:
- Make shrimp butter:
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté shrimp with salt and black pepper, stirring, until just cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a food processor, reserving skillet (do not clean).
- Cook onion in 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape onions into processor and cool mixture to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Add lemon juice, cayenne, and remaining 9 tablespoons butter and pulse until shrimp are finely chopped. Pack shrimp butter into a 2-cup ramekin or serving bowl and chill, its surface covered with plastic wrap, at least 6 hours (to allow flavors to develop). Bring to room temperature 45 minutes before serving.
- Make toast points:
- Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F.
- Brush 1 side of bread triangles lightly with melted butter and toast, buttered sides up, in a large shallow baking pan until golden around edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Serve toast points with shrimp butter.

NORDIC SHRIMP TOAST
These decorative toasts have all the flavors of Nordic cuisine and no foraging is required! Delicate shrimp get double-hacked: first, they are quickly cooked in a covered pot off the stovetop and then sliced en masse using a trick involving two plastic lids. A protein-packed snack or part of lunch.

Steps:
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the coriander, 2 dill sprigs, half of the lemon zest and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Let boil for 1 minute, remove the saucepan from the heat, add the shrimp and cover the pot. Let the shrimp sit, covered, until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Drain the shrimp and chill in ice water. Once chilled, remove and blot dry. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Chop 2 tablespoons dill fronds and add it to a small bowl along with the juice of half the lemon and the remaining zest. Add the cream cheese and yogurt to the bowl and stir to combine. Spread each slice of toast with the cream cheese mixture.
- Lay as many shrimp as will fit flat between 2 plastic deli container lids; the tops of the lids should be facing each other. Making a fist, press down on the top lid to keep the shrimp in place. Position a sharp knife between the narrow opening of the lids and use a sawing motion to slice the shrimp in half at one time. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. Alternatively, slice on a cutting board.
- Arrange the shrimp (cut-side down), cucumber and radish slices in overlapping decorative rows -- think fish scales -- to cover each toast. Sprinkle each with the remaining dill fronds.

SHRIMP TOAST
Shrimp toast is one of the tastiest bites at the dim sum table. I didn't actually like shrimp toast growing up, but when I finally got around to trying it, I couldn't believe how much flavor was packed into one tiny unassuming square. These are crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle and really dangerous because they are so so addictive.

Steps:
- Put the shrimp and egg white in a food processor and pulse until pasty but still a little chunky. Add the sriracha, salt, sesame oil, black pepper, garlic, scallions and lemongrass and pulse until just combined.
- Divide the mixture among the bread slices and spread in an even layer to the edge. At this point, you can freeze the toasts while you heat the oil (although freezing is not totally necessary, it makes for cleaner cuts and easier handling).
- Bring 1 1/2 inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot.
- Cut each bread slice into 4 squares and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Carefully place each piece shrimp-side down into the oil. Fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove onto a rack or paper towel. Serve immediately drizzled with sriracha.
SUYIN'S SHRIMP TOAST
I love shrimp toast from the Chinese restaurants. Some restaurants make them really well and some do not. I love to cook and wanted to give it a try. I set out my search for a good tasting recipe. After trying several, I came up with my own! My recipe will knock your socks off! I have to stop myself from eating them before I finish my batch.

- Place shrimp, water chestnuts, green onions, garlic, and ginger in a food processor. Pulse into a chunky paste. Stir into the egg mixture until combined.
- Place a generous dollop of the shrimp paste on each piece of bread; spread evenly towards the crusts using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, pressing them into the paste. Cut each bread slice into 2 to 4 triangles.
- Fry bread slices, paste side-down, in the preheated oil, until edges are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn bread over and fry until other side is crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain. Serve with sweet chili sauce.

CREAMY GARLIC SHRIMP TOAST
Sweet, butterflied shrimp in a garlicky cream sauce with a smoky paprika flavor are served over thick slices of buttery, pan-toasted French bread in this simple recipe for two! This sauce would be good over pasta, rice, or potatoes, but I think enjoying it like this is the best way to go.

Steps:
- Butterfly shrimp and place in a mixing bowl. Add cayenne, paprika, and garlic and stir until shrimp are evenly coated. Refrigerate until needed.
- Trim most of the crusts off of the bread.
- Add 4 tablespoons melted butter to a skillet over medium heat. Add both slices of bread and toast until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove bread to a plate and wipe out any crumbs.
- Add remaining melted butter to the skillet and increase heat to high. When the pan is very hot and you see the first wisp of smoke, add shrimp and use tongs to spread into an even layer. Sear, without stirring or tossing, for 1 minute.
- Sprinkle with lemon zest and add lemon juice and cream. Stir with a spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom. Let cream boil and reduce for 1 ½ to 2 minutes as the shrimp finishes cooking and the sauce thickens up.
- Turn off the heat and stir in parsley. Taste and add salt if needed.
- Divide shrimp and sauce evenly over each piece of toasted bread.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp. Frozen shrimp can be used, but fresh shrimp will give your dish the best flavor.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until they are pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality whiskey. The whiskey you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your dish. Choose a whiskey that you enjoy drinking.
- Don't skimp on the butter. Butter adds richness and flavor to the dish. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Whiskey shrimp is best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Whiskey shrimp on toast is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at parties or gatherings. The combination of whiskey, shrimp, and toast is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy seafood dish, give whiskey shrimp on toast a try.
