Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
24 large cooked shrimp, sliced in half lengthwise
8 (1-inch-thick) slices ciabatta (from 1 large loaf)
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, coarsely chopped (from 2 sprigs)
1/2 cup chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
1 (15 ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 ounces arugula, coarsely chopped (about 4 cups loosely packed)
2 teaspoons chile-garlic sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In blender, pulse basil, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Transfer to small bowl, add shrimp, and toss to combine. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
  • Brush ciabatta slices on both sides with oil (about 1/4 cup total) and sprinkle with salt and pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper total). Arrange in single layer on rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In heavy medium saucepan over moderately high heat, heat 1/4 cup oil until hot but not smoking. Add garlic and rosemary and sauté until golden, about 2 minutes. Add stock and beans and bring to boil, then reduce heat to moderate and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by 1/3, about 2 minutes. Transfer to blender and purée until smooth. With motor running, add 2 tablespoons oil and blend until incorporated. Blend in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set purée aside.
  • In small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Transfer arugula to medium bowl, drizzle with olive oil-lemon juice mixture, and toss to combine.
  • Spread about 2 tablespoons white bean mixture on each bread slice, then top each with 1/2 cup arugula and 6 shrimp halves. Drizzle 1/4 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce over each slice and serve immediately.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think I would use less chili flakes next time.

I found that the crostini were a bit too hard for my liking. I think I would try using a softer bread next time.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the overall flavor of the dish was still very good.
