Ingredients
  • 1 8 count package garlic toast/ Texas toast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Old Bay seasoning, kosher salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup pesto (homemade or store bought)
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions

  1. Place the 8 slices of garlic toast on a lined baking sheet and cook in a 425 degree oven for 5 to 6 minutes.

  2. While the garlic toast is cooking in the oven, set a skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and once hot add the shrimp, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook 2 to 3 minutes stirring the few times.

    Note: Old Bay seasoning already contains some salt so not too much kosher salt is needed.

  3. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and let cool slightly, then chop into smaller pieces.

  4. Once the garlic toast comes out of the oven the first time, spread each piece with some pesto then top with the cooked shrimp, sliced green onions, and mozzarella cheese.

  5. Place the lined baking sheet back into the 425 degree oven for an additional 4 to 6 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the garlic toast is cooked how you like.
