Canapes on skewers on a festive table
We offer seafood lovers to cook shrimp canapes. This product is one of the most popular for making snacks. Shrimp is combined with other products, just do not add too many of them. It is important that they do not “clog” the taste of seafood, but supplement it.
Shrimp Sandwiches
Slices of the loaf should be slightly fried in a dry frying pan, and then cut small circles out of them (about 3 centimeters in diameter). We put on the skewer half of the olive, cut across. After that, shrimp with the tail, previously boiled, pierce in two places with a skewer and fix in an upright position on the loaf circle. We supplement the canapes as follows: squeeze a little cream cheese onto a loaf from a pastry bag and decorate with a sprig of dill. You can supplement our set with fresh cucumber, previously laid on a piece of bread - this vegetable is in perfect harmony with the seafood.

Multilayer canapes
A very elegant snack can be prepared on the festive table - canapes on skewers, consisting of several layers. It may seem difficult to do, but it is not. Everything is done quite simply, the main thing in this matter is accuracy. From white and black bread of rectangular shape we cut thin (4-5 mm) identical slices and grease them with cream cheese. First we put a piece of black bread and lay on it cucumbers, cut into thin strips, put white bread on top with the smeared side down. Lubricate the bread with cheese again and place lightly salted salmon or trout on it. We cover with bread, this time in black, coat with cheese and put pieces of yellow pepper. Then, covered on one side with a piece of white bread, close the sandwich. We stick skewers over the entire area of bread at the same distance and cut the bread lengthwise and crosswise into even identical squares. The result was beautiful and tasty canapes on skewers.

With special molds, we cut out hearts from bread slices. If there are no such shapes, then blanks of the desired shape can be cut using suitable cookie cutters. We cut the cheese in the same shape, 0.5 centimeter thick, according to the number of hearts made of bread. Put a drop of mayonnaise on the bread blanks and place the cheese slices on them, gently pressing them. We begin to collect the canapes on the skewer: we prick a slice of cervelat on one side of the skewer, stepping back 1.5 cm. Then we string the olive on it (across) and pierce the second part of the slice of cervelat. The result is something like a sail. We combine the design with bread and cheese. The remaining canapes are collected in the same way. When serving them on the table, the dish on which they will be placed can be decorated with lettuce.
