At the annual wine tasting at Clos du Lac Cellars, Jill Murphy, director of marketing and sales, serves shrimp toasts with Sauvignon Blanc or Viognier. Ingredients:
1 pound shrimp (36 to 42 per lb.), shelled and deveined |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or white wine vinegar |
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced |
1 tablespoon drained capers, chopped |
1 baguette (8 oz.) |
1 roma tomato (3 oz.) |
1/4 cup minced green bell pepper |
1/4 cup minced green onion |
salt |
1/4 pound fresh chèvre (goat) cheese |
Directions:
1. In a 4- to 5-quart pan over high heat, bring about 2 quarts water to a boil. Add shrimp, cover, and cook just until opaque in thickest part (cut to test), about 2 minutes. Drain.
2. In a bowl, mix oil, vinegar, garlic, capers, and shrimp. Cover and chill, stirring occasionally, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
3. Trim tips from ends of baguette and cut remaining bread crosswise into 36 equal slices. Set slices on racks on a 14- by 17-inch baking sheet.
4. Bake in a 425° oven until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. If making ahead, store cool slices airtight up to 4 hours.
5. Seed and finely chop tomato. Add tomato, bell pepper, and onion to shrimp mixture. Season with salt to taste.
6. Spread cheese on toast. Place vegetables and 1 shrimp on each piece.
7. Nutritional analysis per piece.
