Chipotle Shrimp Toast Mini Pupu

These mini shrimp toast bites pack a lot of punch and a lot of flavor starting with the garlic bread toast base which is slathered with homemade clam dip and topped with a spicy chipotle lime shrimp.  You can make each component ahead of time and simply assemble before serving.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. med shrimp peeled & deveined, tail on.
  • 1 teaspoon  chipotle seasoning.  
  • Salt to taste if chipotle seasoning has no salt
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Garlic Toast

  • loaf of white bread
  • 1 block butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced

Clam Dip

  • 1 block cream cheese
  • 1 can chopped clams + juice (i prefer gorton's)
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions
 

Chipotle Lime Shrimp

  • Peel and devein medium sized shrimp.
  •  Add chipotle seasoning, salt, garlic, olive oil, juice from lime.
  •  Allow to marinate for 20 minutes.
  •  Grill and set aside.

Garlic Toast Rounds

  • Take pieces of white bread and use a 1"-2" cookie cutter to cut pieces of bread into little circles.  I prefer the smaller 1" bites.
  • Melt butter in bowl, mince garlic and add to melted butter.
  • Brush bread rounds with garlic butter and cook under the broiler until nice and golden brown.  You can also do this in a frying pan.

Clam Dip

  • Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature.  Add cream cheese to bowl.
  • Open can of chopped clams and pour clam juice into different bowl.  Add clams to cream cheese and mix well.
  • Slowly add the clam juice until the desired consistency is reached.  You want the cream cheese mixture to be able to stand on its own without dripping.  **Do NOT use the whole can of clam juice...it will be too runny.  
  • Add garlic salt and juice from 1/2 lemon.  
  • Chill for at least 1 hour before using.

How To Serve:

  • Assembly - Take toasted garlic bread rounds, slather with a thin layer of clam dip and top with a piece of grilled shrimp.  
  • Garnish with green onion, or dried cilantro/parsley flakes optional.
