Low Country Shrimp Toast
- 2lbs. Wild Georgia Shrimp
- 4tsp Garlic, chopped
- 4tsp Cayenne
- 2tsp Black Pepper, ground
- 4tsp Kosher Salt
- 2cups White Wine
- 1pound Unsalted Butter, diced
- 4 slices Southern Sandwich Bread
- 4 Tbsp Butter
In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the shrimp until the shrimp is about halfway cooked through. Add the garlic, cayenne, black pepper, & salt. Add the white wine and cook for another minute, until the shrimp are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and reduce the sauce to a thick syrup, about ½ a cup. Remove from heat and add the shrimp and sauce to a food processor. Pulse the shrimp in the food processor, adding the butter, until smooth.
Heat a griddle to medium heat, melt the remaining butter, and toast the bread slices. Spread the Shrimp Butter on the toast and serve with a green salad and heirloom tomatoes.
