Step 1: Prepare the seafood mix.
This smoked shrimp and crab meat toast recipe is simple and only takes a few minutes to make.
Start by thawing out a few large raw shrimps. Next, remove the shell and devein if they are not already. Cut them into small bite size pieces.
When selecting crab meat, use what works with your budget. For this recipe I decided to use lump crab meat, but warning it is pricey. A more economical alternative would be imitation crab meat which will work well.
Break down the lumps into small bite size pieces similar to the shrimp.
Toss the seafood into a larger bowl and start adding the remaining ingredients. For the creaminess add mayo. Add a handful of shredded cheese for the gooeyness, breadcrumbs to hold everything in place, chopped green onions and finally season with Dad’s All Purpose rub. Gently mix the ingredients together.
For the toast, I decided to use frozen garlic toast. All you need to do is thaw them before using. Yes, you can make your own. For best results, use thick slices of Italian bread and spread it with a garlic based compound butter.
Place the garlic toasts on a wire rack and add a few spoonfuls of the seafood mix onto each slice.
Recipe Tip
Place the wire rack on a baking sheet to avoid any unexpected and unwanted flare ups from the dripping butter.
Dad’s Seasonings
Must have grillin seasonings!
Step 2: Smoke the shrimp and crab meat toast.
I decided to use my smoker for this recipe to add another layer of flavor through the smoke. However, this recipe can be replicated on a regular grill or in the oven using the same time and temps. Make sure to set the grill for indirect heat.
Preheat the grill to 350 degrees. Place the wire rack on the grill and smoke for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Top off the smoked shrimp and crab meat toast with some freshly shredded parmesan cheese, parsley and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Enjoy!
