A simple yet perfect lunch, this dish came together while we were on vacation. I used slightly stale bread, leftover shrimp, herbed butter, and cucumber — an ideal way to make the most of what we had on hand. It was so good that I’ve since added it to the menu as a regular apéritif idea for you when entertaining. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. It’s also a lovely and easy option when hosting a brunch.
Make the herbed butter by blending softened butter with a combination of fresh herbs of your choice — I used dill, parsley, and chives here. You can find the recipe with more ideas for herbed butter here.Â
