Prepare Shrimp

Place deveined shrimp in a food chopper. I like using this nifty hand-powered pull chopper for making this recipe. I have to be honest. My husband got this for me as a gift and I have to say I was very skeptical. But, I have used this kitchen gadget for chopping many ingredients and absolutely love it! Anyway, I pull the handle about six times just enough to chop the shrimp up. Do not puree it just chop it up some. Or you can use a knife to chop the shrimp into small pieces.

Prepare Other Ingredients

Place butter in a small sauce pan and melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook over medium heat for about one minute. Remove from heat and add mayonnaise and then pour chopped shrimp into the butter mixture. Then add pepper and chopped green onions and stir until well combined.

Prepare French Bread

Place French bread cut side down (with the crust part on top) on baking pan. Broil for about 1 minute on second shelf of oven or until the crusty side gets somewhat toasted. Then carefully remove pan from oven. Allow bread to slightly cool. Divide the shrimp and garlic butter mixture in half and carefully pick up one half of the toasted French bread and slather half the shrimp mixture on top evenly. Then put the remaining shrimp mixture on the other half of the French bread.

Broil French Bread

Place both halves of the French bread covered with the garlic shrimp mixture back on the baking pan. Place the pan in the oven and broil for at least three minutes or until shrimp is fully cooked and bread starts to toast.

Cut and Serve

Carefully slice the Shrimp Scampi Garlic Toast using a bread knife into individual pieces and place on a serving tray. This recipe makes for great hors d’oeuvre (appetizer) for six or you could also make this as a main meal for two. Either way, this dish will definitely be a recipe everyone will want.
