    Here's an appetizer recipe that sounds great. Only 2 minutes preparation, 6 hours before dinner time. Maybe not for tonight but you can save it for next time.

    This recipe calls for cooked shrimp or shrimp that are cooked, frozen and thawed. You simply marinate them and serve on small individual toasts.

    Garlic Prawn Appetizer on Baguette Toasts

    1/4 cup red wine vinegar

    1/4 cup tarragon vinegar

    1/2 cup olive oil

    1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped

    1/4 cup shallots, finely chopped

    4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

    8 garlic cloves, minced

    1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

    1 1/2 lbs cooked large shrimp

    1 loaf French bread, sliced thin, toasted

    1. Whisk all ingredients except for the shrimp and bread.

    2. Place shrimp in a shallow baking dish and pour the marinade over them.

    3. Cover and refrigerate for 6-10 hours.

    4. Drain marinade when ready to serve and place the shrimp on the pieces of toast to serve.
