Shrimp With Tomato Bruschetta Recipe
Servings:
6-8
Ingredients
- 24 Sesame Crisps
- 24 leaves baby arugula or other small, crisp green
- 24 small shrimp (U31-40 work well), peeled and tails removed
- Purchased garlic butter or 1 tbsp. softened butter mixed with 2 cloves minced garlic (or to taste)
- 1 large, perfectly ripe fresh tomato
- 1/2 small red onion, diced
- 3 large leaves of fresh basil
- Kosher salt and freshly-ground pepper
- Fresh parsley or micro-basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Core the tomato and cut it in half along its hemisphere. Discard the seeds and pulp.
- Finely dice the tomato and place in a small bowl along with the diced red onion.
- Season generously with salt and pepper and allow to sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to blend.
- Pat shrimp dry.
- Heat the butter in a small sauté pan over medium heat until lightly foamy.
- Add the shrimp and increase heat to high
- Sauté shrimp until just pink and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes depending on size. Do not overcook — many people don’t like shrimp because they perceive shrimp as “rubbery,” but this is because the shrimp have been overcooked!
- Season shrimp with salt and pepper and set aside to cool.
