TOMATO TOAST WITH BUTTERED SHRIMP
Crisp, golden-brown toast is the perfect bed for impossibly ripe tomatoes, made even better when topped with saucy, garlicky shrimp. These fully assembled tomato toasts may require a knife and fork to properly tackle, but they are also wonderful eaten with your hands. Keeping the tails on the shrimp makes for a festive presentation, but feel free to remove them so you don't have to deal with them as you eat.

Steps:
- Finely chop 2 cloves of garlic and add to a small bowl with parsley; season with salt and pepper and set aside. Thinly slice remaining 4 garlic cloves; set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread and toast until golden brown on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn bread, adding another drizzle of olive oil as needed and toast on the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large serving platter and set aside.
- Heat butter and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet. Add the sliced garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, swirling skillet occasionally, until the butter starts to brown and the garlic is golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until shrimp are bright pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add white wine, if using, and let cook for a minute or two, just to take the edge off the wine (don't reduce so much that you lose that sauciness, though). Remove pan from heat.
- Place tomatoes on top of toast and sprinkle with half of the parsley-garlic mixture. Spoon shrimp and any buttery sauce in the skillet over the tomatoes and toast. Finish with remaining parsley-garlic mixture and serve with lemon wedges alongside.
PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES AND SHRIMP TOAST
A mandoline or other adjustable-blade slicer is the best tool for slicing the radishes and celery paper-thin, but a very sharp chef's knife will also work.

RUSTIC TOMATO TOAST
This traditional Spanish snack couldn't be easier to make. Aside from good toasted bread, it requires very few ingredients: a garlic clove, a ripe tomato, some olive oil and flaky sea salt. In fact, the ingredient list is actually the recipe in shorthand. If you want a slightly more elaborate toast, garnish with anchovy fillets, slices of avocado or grilled shrimp. But even in its simplest form, this rustic toast is always satisfying.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Arrange the butter beans on one side of a baking dish and the tomatoes on the other side. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the 2 sliced garlic cloves and a sprinkle of sea salt all over.
- Sprinkle the sage only over the butterbeans and drizzle the Worcestershire sauce only over the tomatoes. Toss each section individually with a couple of spoons and keep separate, to keep the flavors separate.
- Bake until the butter beans start to turn golden and the cherry tomatoes are soft and roasted, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- Meanwhile, put the slices of baguette on a baking sheet, drizzle each with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and toast in the oven until golden, about 12 minutes. Then remove to cool.
- When the toasts are cool, rub one side of each with the remaining whole garlic clove.
- To assemble, lay some of the butter beans (about 4) on each toast, pressing down gently with a fork to slightly crush so they do not roll around. Arrange 2 roasted tomatoes on top and garnish with a few chives. Arrange on a serving plate and eat!
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The better the tomatoes, the better the toast. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slightly sweet smell.
- Toast the bread to perfection: The bread should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can toast it in a toaster oven or on a griddle.
- Use good-quality butter: The butter will add richness and flavor to the toast. Use unsalted butter so you can control the amount of salt.
- Season the tomatoes and shrimp: A simple sprinkle of salt and pepper will do the trick. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking the shrimp in a pan, make sure not to overcrowd it. The shrimp will cook more evenly if they have enough space.
Conclusion:
Tomato toast with buttered shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up any leftover tomatoes and shrimp. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that is both satisfying and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
