Steps:
- Scrub the shellfish clean. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Place the clams and mussels in the pot and cover. The shells should be open in about 7 to 10 minutes. (discard any that don't) Strain and reserve the liquid. Remove the shellfish from the shells and discard the shells. Dice the shrimp, clams, and mussels.
- Chop 1 clove of the garlic and saute in the remaining tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat; do not let it brown. Add the shellfish, parsley, and pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes. In a separate pot, combine the tomatoes, wine, and reserved shellfish broth over medium heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until thickened. Add to the shellfish and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Rub the bread with the remaining 2 garlic cloves and brush with olive oil. Arrange in a single layer on a sheet pan and toast both sides. Top each piece of toast with a portion of the seafood mixture, arrange on a platter and serve warm
Tips:
- Buy the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp should be firm and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp is very easy to overcook, so it's important to cook it just until it turns pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use good-quality bread for the crostini. A sturdy bread, such as a baguette or ciabatta, will hold up well to the toppings. You can also use a softer bread, such as a white or wheat bread, but it will be more likely to get soggy.
- Be generous with the toppings. The crostini should be loaded with shrimp, avocado, and arugula. Don't be afraid to add other toppings that you like, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or feta cheese.
- Serve the crostini immediately. The crostini are best when served fresh and warm. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can assemble them and then refrigerate them. Just be sure to bring them to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
Shrimp crostini are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give shrimp crostini a try. You won't be disappointed!
