Canapes with sausage and sauce
Serving small canapés with shrimp (see photo below) with glasses of sauce looks very impressive. Such a sandwich will be juicy and spicy. According to the cooking recipe, you need to use hot raw smoked pork chorizo sausage, popular in Spain, but if you don’t have it, it can be replaced with pieces of fried smoked hunting sausages. The main thing in preparing canapés is the original sauce. Let's look at how to prepare it correctly.
Before you dive into the savory sauce, however, marinate the shrimp in a mixture of Italian seasonings, lemon juice, garlic and olive oil. Leave them like this for half an hour in a cool place.
Shrimp canapes with cheese filling
The combination “shrimp + cheese” is one of the most common in shrimp canapé recipes. Here's one of them.
Ingredients:
- Soft cream cheese

- Cucumber
Preparation:
Cut the cucumbers into thin slices. Mix the cheese with finely chopped herbs and pepper, place one teaspoon per slice, and, having rolled it up, prick it with a skewer so that the cucumber roll with cheese filling does not unfold. Place the rolls on one end, place the shrimp on top and serve.
Snack with lemon and salted butter
To prepare such canapés, salted butter, peeled boiled shrimp and cut lengthwise, mayonnaise, small sprigs of dill, and thin slices of lemon are used. Use black pepper if desired.
Spread a thin layer of salted butter onto the prepared pieces of toasted bread. Then lay out the seafood, divided into two parts. The photo of the shrimp canapes shows how they should be placed on the sandwich.
Squeeze half a teaspoon of mayonnaise onto them from a cooking bag. It turns out to be a beautiful star. Dill is placed on top. The canapes are served with a thin slice of lemon, which will refresh the taste of the sandwich.
