Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 12 pieces Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette diagonally into 12 thin slices and place them on a baking sheet.
Brush the top of each baguette slice with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
Add the lemon juice and chopped parsley to the skillet, tossing the shrimp to coat evenly in the buttery garlic sauce. Remove from heat.
Top each toasted baguette slice with one shrimp, then drizzle a small amount of the garlic butter sauce over each.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of each crostini.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Garlic Shrimp Crostini!
