Show Me Your Bruschetta

I made the shrimp bruschetta over the Holidays & it was a big hit. Plan on making it again for New Year's.

Shrimp Bruschetta

24 thin slices French bread
Olive oil cooking spray
1 cup diced plum tomatoes
1 T bsp olive oil
3⁄4 tsp minced garlic
1⁄4 tsp each salt and pepper
24 medium shrimp
1⁄4 cup pesto
Garnish: small basil leaves

Heat broiler. (I used my indoor grill.) Place bread on baking sheet; coat with cooking spray. Broil 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until lightly toasted.

Put tomatoes, 1 tsp of the oil, 1⁄2 tsp of the garlic, and the salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss to coat.

Heat remaining 2 tsp oil in a large nonstic skillet. Add shrimp and remaining 1⁄4 tsp garlic. Saute 2 minutes or just until shrimp are cooked through. Remove from heat.

Spread each piece of toasted bread with about 1⁄2 tsp pesto. Top with about 1⁄2 Tbsp tomato mixture, then one shrimp.


ETA: Another idea - if you're not a pesto fan, chimichurri sauce is another way to go. Enjoy.
