Super Shrimp and Garlic Bruschetta image

I created this today from ingredients that I had on hand to serve as my Sunday afternoon appetizer. It was so tasty (IMHO) that I decided to post the recipe., If you like a crisp bruschetta toast both sides of the bread. This appetizer went over well served with a Martini but I think you will enjoy it even without the Mart Mart!

Time 35m

Yield 8 Bruschettas, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon olive oil (or spray a small skillet with olive oil)
6 ounces raw shrimp or 6 ounces prawns, chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped'
2 medium mushrooms, minced
2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
salt and pepper
4 tablespoons cream cheese, plain or flavored (I used garden vegetable lite)
6 drops hot sauce (more or less to suit your taste)
salt and pepper
8 slices cheddar cheese, pieces (enough to cover each bruschetta, I used aged) or 8 slices of your favorite cheese (Neerdammer is excellent)
8 slices baguette, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
olive oil, enough to lightly paint one side of the bread slices

Steps:

  • Lightly paint one side of the bread slices with oil and place under the broiler, oil side up and lightly brown the bread- remove from oven (you may do this the day before and keep them fresh in a sealed tin).
  • On an oiled skillet saute the garlic, onions & mushrooms until almost golden- add chopped shrimp and saute for about 2 minutes or until the shrimp meat is just cooked (do not over cook).
  • Add hot sauce & season with salt & pepper.
  • Add cream cheese and mix well, cover & store in fridge until just before serving, have it at room temp when you are ready to spread the mixture on the bread slices.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • 10 minutes before you want to serve evenly spread the shrimp mixture on the unbaked side of the bread, take it out to the edges.
  • Cover with the thin slices of cheddar.
  • Place on baking sheet or a pizza stone and bake at 375 degrees F for apprx 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve warm or hot.
