Shrimp Melt with Capers and Old Bay Seasoning

three open faced shrimp melts topped with fresh tomato slices and fresh chives on a tray surrounded by potato chips
  • Serves:  4
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  10 min

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons minced celery
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 1 pound cooked shrimp, tails removed, roughly chopped
  • 4 1-inch-thick slices of artisan bread (we like sourdough)
  • 8 ¼-inch-thick slices of tomato (from 2 tomatoes)
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Method

  1. Turn the oven on to broil.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire, Old Bay, celery, shallot, and capers. Fold the shrimp into the mixture until evenly distributed.

  3. Place bread on a baking sheet and broil until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Flip the bread and toast for another 2 minutes.

  4. Divide the shrimp mixture evenly between the toast. Top each with 2 slices of tomato and sprinkle with the cheddar. Return to the oven and broil until the cheese melts and begins to brown.

  5. Serve immediately.
