Shrimp & Roasted Red Pepper Canapés Recipe

Serves 24, Prep time: 20 minutes, Total time: 25 minutes

1 small onion, cut into wedges

10 black peppercorns

1 bay leaf

24 frozen, uncooked Compliments Pacific White Shrimp (31/40 ct), about 1/3 bag (300 g), thawed

1/4 cup Compliments Sensations Flame Roasted Red Pepper Tapenade 60 mL

2 tbsp Compliments Balance Mayonnaise Style Dressing 30 mL

1 tsp finely chopped fresh tarragon or dill 5 mL

1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce 1 mL

24 Compliments Balance Sesame Rice Crackers

1/2 cup Compliments Spring Mix Salad Blend 125 mL

1. Fill a large saucepan three-quarters full with salted water. Add onion, peppercorns and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Meanwhile, peel shrimp and remove tails. Immerse shrimp in boiling water. Cook 1 to 2 min., or just until shrimp turn pink. Use a slotted spoon to remove shrimp and immediately plunge into ice water. Drain well and pat dry on paper towel. Discard poaching mixture. (Cooked shrimp can be tightly covered and reserved in refrigerator overnight.)

2. Combine tapenade, mayonnaise, tarragon or dill and hot pepper sauce. Divide mixture evenly between crackers. Top each portion with one shrimp and garnish with a sprig of spring mix.
