Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 16 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 16 even rounds, approximately 1/2-inch thick.
Brush both sides of each baguette slice with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest, tossing the shrimp to coat evenly. Remove from heat.
Top each toasted baguette round with one shrimp.
Drizzle a small amount of the lemon garlic butter sauce from the skillet over each shrimp-topped round.
Garnish each round with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
