Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails removed)
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a slight diagonal, creating approximately 12 slices.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush both sides of each slice with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place in the oven for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Peel and finely mince one garlic clove. Set aside. Take the remaining two cloves and halve them lengthwise for later use to rub on the toasted bread.
Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters and chop the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, chopped shrimp, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss to combine.
Chop the fresh basil leaves and mix them into the tomato-shrimp mixture. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and rub each slice with the cut side of the halved garlic cloves for an extra layer of flavor.
Spoon a generous amount of the tomato-shrimp mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Arrange the Shrimp Tomato Bruschetta on a platter and serve immediately.
