Bruschetta is a classic appetizer and the shrimp really are the icing on the cake. They’re mixed in a sauce featuring garlic, shallots, lemon juice, and limoncello. The hint of lemon will make this dish truly unforgettable. Ingredients:
24 baguette slices |
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided |
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced |
2 shallots, finely chopped |
24 large shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
1 cup limoncello (lemon liqueur) |
salt |
freshly ground black pepper |
garnishes: chopped fresh italian parsley, lemon zest |
Directions:
1. Brush baguette slices with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill or toast bread slices until golden; arrange on a platter. Set aside.
2. Sauté garlic and shallots in remaining 6 tablespoons hot olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 1 minute or until light golden brown. Add shrimp, and sauté 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp turn bright pink. Turn shrimp, and cook 1 additional minute. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon.
3. Add lemon juice and limoncello to skillet; cook over high heat until mixture is reduced by two-thirds, about 2 minutes. Return shrimp to mixture, stirring until shrimp are coated. Remove from heat; add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Spoon 1 shrimp with sauce onto each toast. Garnish, if desired.
