These Canapes made with Louisiana shrimp are quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

12 thin white or wheat bread slices, trimmed of crust
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 pound Louisiana shrimp (36–45 count), boiled and peeled
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Creole or Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
salt and cayenne pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon dry mustard1
2 small pimiento-stuffed olives

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Using a 2-inch round or star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 12 rounds/stars from the bread slices.
Brush both sides of each with the melted butter and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Toast the bread, turning once, until lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
Finely chop (or pulse in a food processor) the shrimp.
Combine the shrimp with the mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt, pepper, and dry mustard in a small bowl. Stir to blend.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the mixture on each toast and top each with half an olive.

Note: Canapés pictured are topped with a whole olive.
