Steps:
- Scrub the shellfish clean. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Place the clams and mussels in the pot and cover. The shells should be open in about 7 to 10 minutes. (discard any that don't) Strain and reserve the liquid. Remove the shellfish from the shells and discard the shells. Dice the shrimp, clams, and mussels.
- Chop 1 clove of the garlic and saute in the remaining tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat; do not let it brown. Add the shellfish, parsley, and pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes. In a separate pot, combine the tomatoes, wine, and reserved shellfish broth over medium heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until thickened. Add to the shellfish and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Rub the bread with the remaining 2 garlic cloves and brush with olive oil. Arrange in a single layer on a sheet pan and toast both sides. Top each piece of toast with a portion of the seafood mixture, arrange on a platter and serve warm
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong odor.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality baguette. A fresh, crusty baguette will make your crostini even more delicious.
- Slice the baguette thinly. Thin slices will help the crostini cook evenly.
- Brush the baguette slices with olive oil. This will help them to crisp up in the oven.
- Season the crostini with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder or Italian seasoning.
- Bake the crostini until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them so that they don't burn.
- Top the crostini with shrimp and your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include avocado, tomato, and feta cheese.
