- Add the mayonnaise, shredded cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix again until it's all nice and gooey.
- Grab your slices of bread and place them on a baking sheet. Top each slice generously with your shrimp and crab mixture.
Cooking
- Put your baking sheet in the oven and let those melts cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly.
- Once they’re done, take them out and let them cool for a minute. Then chop up some fresh green onions to sprinkle on top.
Notes
If you can’t find crab meat, you can use additional shrimp or even shredded chicken as a substitution. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
