Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole French baguette
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 15 ounces Canned white beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds (about 12-14 slices). Brush both sides of each slice with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside half of it for later use.
In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add half of the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until pink and fully cooked. Remove from heat and chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the white beans, cherry tomatoes, parsley, basil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and the reserved minced garlic. Mix gently to combine.
Fold the cooked shrimp into the white bean mixture.
Top each toasted baguette slice with a generous spoonful of the shrimp and white bean mixture.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
