Instructions
Creating Air Fryer Shrimp and Crab Toast can be easily accomplished by following these steps:
1. Prepare the Shrimp: Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Make the Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, crab meat, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
3. Prep the Bread: Slice the bread into thick slices. You can toast them lightly in a conventional oven or leave them as they are for air frying.
4. Top the Bread: Spoon the shrimp and crab mixture generously onto each slice of bread.
5. Add Cheese: Top each slice with a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese.
6. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 5 minutes.
7. Air Fry: Place the prepared toasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden.
8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the toasts from the air fryer and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives.
9. Serve: Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy immediately!
