Sizzling Shrimp Canapés
Ingredients
12 to 14 slices best quality white sandwich bread
Melted butter
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound medium raw shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/4 cup coarsely grated Jarlsburg cheese
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon medium-dry Sherry
2 tablespoons scallion, green part only, cut thinly and on the bias
Method
Fill a large sauce pan 3/4 of the way with fresh cold water. Place it on the stovetop over high heat; heat oven to 350°.
Take the crusts off the bread slices. Use a 1 ½ to 2 inch biscuit or cookie cutter and cut out 4 rounds from each slice. Arrange the rounds on a baking sheet and brush with butter and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and set on a cooling rack.
When the water starts to boil, add 2 tablespoons of kosher salt and plunge shrimp in; simmer 1 to 2 minutes [shrimp should never curl into an “O” shape]. Drain shrimp in a colander and rinse under cold water. Pat shrimp dry and chop fine.
In a bowl stir together shrimp, cheeses, cream, Sherry, salt and pepper and scallion. Put about 2 tablespoons shrimp mixture on each toast. Chill rolls, covered loosely, at least 1 hour and up to 4.
Heat oven to 425°
Bake canapés until golden and sizzling, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm.

How to anchor a 10×20 Patio canopy to cement?
I bought a 10×20 party canopy for my folks. It is going to cover their back patio. The patio is cured cement. Now, the canopy isn’t huge, and only needs protection against wind really.
Would using masonry screws, I think 12 (maybe 16) in total be enough to hold it down during wind? I know they sell those bolt and shield anchors…but that might be overkill.
CanopyTentStore.com Staff Says:
It depends what kind of canopy it is, but Lowes or Home Depot sell many different types of anchors. Hold them down with Tapcons.
