Shrimp Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the Italian bread into 1-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp, salt, and black pepper, cooking until the shrimp turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Vodka Sauce

    Pour in the vodka and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to cook off the alcohol. Stir in the heavy cream and crushed red pepper flakes, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Add the cooked shrimp to the vodka sauce, mixing well to coat. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Top each toasted bread slice with a generous spoonful of the shrimp and vodka sauce mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy!
