Directions:

  1. To make canapes: Place baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast under broiler for 1 minute per side or until lightly golden. Remove from broiler and set aside.
  2. Drizzle lime juice over cooked shrimp halves; stir and reserve.
  3. To make shrimp butter: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
  4. Add the shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until softened.
  5. Increase heat to high and add the shrimp. Saute shrimp for 4-5 minutes or until the shells are pink and the flesh is opaque.

  12. Add the cream cheese, butter, tomato paste, salt, pepper and vanilla.
  13. Process until almost smooth and set aside.
