Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

24 slices French bread
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces cream cheese
4 ounces chevre cheese
1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 48)
1/4 cup red bell pepper, minced
2 tablespoons parsley, minced

  • Cook and stir 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
  • Spread each bread slice with cheese mixture, top with 2 shrimp and serve.

Tips:

  • To devein shrimp quickly and easily, use a pair of kitchen shears to cut along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Remove the dark vein and discard it.
  • If you don't have a lemon on hand, you can substitute lime juice or white wine vinegar.
  • To make the crostini ahead of time, simply slice the baguette and brush with olive oil. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • To make the creamy shrimp mixture, be sure to cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • If you want a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the creamy shrimp mixture.
