Provided by zeenieme

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup bottled clam juice
6 oz uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 T fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
4 oz crabmeat, drained
1/2 baguette, cut diagonally into 1/3 inch thick slices
3 T (about) olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring clam juice to boil in medium sauce pan. Add shrimp; reduce heat to medium, cover and cook just until shrimp are opaque in center, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to cutting board; cool. Coarsely chop shrimp. Mix sliced green onions, mayonnaise, lemon juice, paprika and cayenne in medium bowl. Mix in shrimp and crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper. Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. (Cover and chill) Prepare oven to 375 degrees. Brush both sides of baguette slices lightly with oil; arrange in single layer on baking sheet. Bake until bread is golden about 10 minutes. Cool. Mound shrimp mixture atop bread. Place on platter and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them thoroughly before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The toppings you use on your bruschetta can really make a difference in the flavor. Try using a mix of fresh herbs, vegetables, and cheeses.
  • Serve immediately: Bruschetta is best served immediately after it is made. The bread will start to get soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Spicy shrimp bruschetta is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover shrimp, and it's also a great way to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give spicy shrimp bruschetta a try. You won't be disappointed!
