How to Make this Shrimp Bread Appetizer

Shrimp + Bread + Cheese! Need I say more? My cousin and her hubby shared this loaf of deliciousness with us at the beach one year and it was an instant favorite. You can add a salad, and make a meal of it. Or you can slice it and serve it as an appetizer. The best part? You can make it using your leftover shrimp. Yep, a brand new meal with leftovers. Winner winner, shrimp dinner.

Shrimp Bread

Shrimp Ingredients

First, rough chop your shrimp. With this batch we had tossed the shrimp in olive oil, salt, pepper and parsley and grilled them. We used about a pound of cooked shrimp.

Chopped Shrimp

Next, stir in your mayo, garlic, chopped onion, salt, pepper. The mayo helps bind together the mixture. Then add your cheeses, reserving a little for later, and stir.

Shrimp Mix

Slice your french bread loaf horizontally down the middle, so you have two flat sides of the loaf. Spoon mixture onto the bread and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Shrimp on Bread

Bake approx. 22 minutes at 350. Then broil on low 2-3 minutes or until cheese and bread is toasted. Instant happiness.

I don’t know about you, but I love a cozy night I don’t know about you, but I love a cozy night in. Add games (the non-video variety!), snacks, and good company and you’ve made my evening. We’ve had a lot of family game nights over the years, especially in the last couple of years. You can plan a game night any season, but there’s just something about cozying up for a fun evening when the weather is starting to get chilly. We're still hoping for chilly over here! 

Check out my top tips for planning a cozy game night, favorite games and snack ideas, on the blog today. What's your favorite board game?

I loved pairing my handmade drop cloth pumpkins for this sweet fall kitchen vignette. Learn how to make these drop cloth pumpkins and a sweet ticking wreath on the blog. Just add a piece of a stick for the stem and some decorative Spanish moss on top. Also cute placed in a dough bowl or on your mantel. Easy, peasy, pumpkin squeezy!
