WHAT IS CAJUN SHRIMP TOAST WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE?

This recipe takes a spin on traditional eggs benedicts and adds a cajun, seafood flare. Eggs Benedict are prepared with an english muffin, canadian bacon, poached egg and topped with hollandaise sauce. On the other hand, this recipe takes a trip down to the bayou in New Orleans and provides flavors of cajun style food.

To explain, this recipe uses a slice of rustic artisan bread instead of the english muffin. While the canadian bacon is omitted, it's replaced with plump cajun seasoned shrimp. In other words, the traditional texture and flavor from the hollandaise sauce is present. But, a cajun hollandaise sauce emerges and provides for a flavorful twist I'm certain you'll enjoy!

Prep The Ingredients

First, prep all of your ingredients by peeling and deveining the shrimp. Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and season liberally with cajun seasoning.

Then roughly chop the chives, parsley and garlic. Finally, mix the olive oil and garlic in a small bow and set aside until later use.

Prepare The Bread

Next place a small pan on medium to high heat. While the pan is heating, take both slices of bread and spread the oil and garlic mixture over the bread. Sear or grill bread slices bread on both sides and set aside until further use!

Saute the Cajun Shrimp

Now with the same pan, add any leftover oil and garlic to the pan and saute the shrimp until cooked through. Half way through the cooking process, add fresh lemon juice and continue sauteing.

It's important to note to not over cook the shrimp.

Preparing The Poached Egg

If you've never prepared a poached egg, don't fret! The process is not as daunting as it seems. However, you can fry the egg to desired doneness or scramble the eggs and the toast will taste just as good. This is all about preference!

Assembling Thee Cajun Shrimp Toast With Hollandaise Sauce
