Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails removed)
• 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a slight diagonal, creating approximately 12 slices.

Step 3

Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush both sides of each slice with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place in the oven for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.

Step 4

Peel and finely mince one garlic clove. Set aside. Take the remaining two cloves and halve them lengthwise for later use to rub on the toasted bread.

Step 5

Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters and chop the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, chopped shrimp, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss to combine.

Step 7

Chop the fresh basil leaves and mix them into the tomato-shrimp mixture. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and rub each slice with the cut side of the halved garlic cloves for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 9

Spoon a generous amount of the tomato-shrimp mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.

Step 10

Arrange the Shrimp Tomato Bruschetta on a platter and serve immediately.
