Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix softened butter and garlic salt, then spread on the sliced bread.
Arrange the bread on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until lightly browned.
In a skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and shrimp, cooking until shrimp turns pink. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
