Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into 12 equal slices, approximately 1/2-inch thick.
Brush each side of the baguette slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, until golden and crisp. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened, then remove from heat.
Top each toasted baguette slice with a sautéed shrimp and a spoonful of the cherry tomato mixture.
Garnish each bruschetta with fresh parsley, a pinch of lemon zest, and a small drizzle of lemon juice for extra brightness.
Serve warm and enjoy your Super Shrimp and Garlic Bruschetta!
