Recipe - Creamed Shrimp Crostini

40 One half inch baguette slices
2 tablespoon Olive oil
1 pack Cream cheese (8 ounces);
room temperature
One half cup Mayonnaise; * see note
2 tablespoon Dijon mustard; 1 inch thick
1 pound Cooked shrimp; peeled &
deveined, coarsely chopped
One half cup Green onions; minced
1 One half tablespoon Fresh dill; chopped
1 teaspoon Lemon peel; grated
Fresh parsley; chopped

Place oven rack in top position. Preheat broiler. Lightly brush one side of
each baguette slice with oil. Arrange on 2 baking sheets, and broil until
lightly toasted, about 1minute. Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese,
mayonnaise and mustard in a large bowl to blend. Mix in shrimp, green
onions, dill and lemon peel. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1
day ahead. Store toast slices in an airtight container at room temperature.
Cover shrimp mixture and chill.)

Spread 1 Tablespoon of the shrimp mixture atop each toast slice. Arrange
crostini on baking sheets and broil until shrimp mixture begins to brown,
about 2 minutes. Top with parsley.

NOTES : Pepperidge Farms twin pack French bread works very well for this.
