SUPER SHRIMP AND GARLIC BRUSCHETTA



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!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your bruschetta. Use fresh shrimp, garlic, tomatoes, and basil for the best results.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use good quality bread: The bread is the base of your bruschetta, so it's important to use a good quality loaf. A sturdy bread like French bread or baguette will hold up well to the toppings.
  • Toast the bread properly: Toasting the bread will help it to be crispy and flavorful. You can toast the bread in a toaster oven, on a grill, or in a pan with a little bit of olive oil.
  • Don't overload the bruschetta: It's important to not overload the bruschetta with toppings, as this will make it difficult to eat. A few shrimp, a few pieces of tomato, and a sprinkle of basil is all you need.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and garlic bruschetta is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its fresh, flavorful ingredients and crispy bread, this bruschetta is sure to be a hit with your guests.
