Add finely chopped celery (2 small sticks, about 1/2 cup) to the bowl.

Add 2 chopped green scallions (both white and green parts) to the bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley to the bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of fresh dill to the bowl.

Zest 1 small lemon and add the zest to the bowl, then squeeze in about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

Add 4-5 cloves of minced garlic to the bowl.

Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of dried garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried onion powder.

Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sriracha sauce to the mixture.

Add 1/3 cup of mayo and mix everything thoroughly until well combined.

If not baking immediately, cover the bowl and chill in the fridge.

Slice a French baguette diagonally into pieces for more topping area.

Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and add a heaping teaspoon of the shrimp topping onto each slice.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until the edges of the baguette are golden brown and the shrimp mixture is hot.

Garnish with freshly chopped chives, dill, and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
