Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked shrimp, finely chopped
• 1 cup imitation crab meat, finely chopped
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 8 slices white sandwich bread
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tbsp chopped chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, add the chopped shrimp, chopped imitation crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Gently mix the ingredients until they are well combined and form a creamy seafood spread. Set aside.

Step 3

Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of white sandwich bread slightly to make it easier to layer and cut.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice to act as a moisture barrier.

Step 5

Spread an even layer of the seafood mixture on four slices of bread, making sure to cover the entire surface.

Step 6

Place the remaining four bread slices, buttered side down, on top of the seafood spread to form sandwiches.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the crusts off the sandwiches to create neat edges.

Step 8

Cut each sandwich into four small squares or triangles, depending on your desired presentation.

Step 9

If desired, garnish each sandwich with a small sprinkle of chopped chives for added color and flavor.

Step 10

Arrange the tea sandwiches on a serving platter and serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh until ready to serve.
