David and I entertain a lot and more so during the summer time. The weather is nice so we fire up the barbecue and eat outside on the patio. Unless it’s during the Holiday season 🎄, I tend to serve more hors d’oeuvres… small, bite-sized foods.
Depending on the occasion, it can be Cucumber Tea Sandwiches, Korean Meatballs, Caprese Skewers, Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders, Croquetas de Jamón • Ham Croquettes, Gougères aka Cheese Puffs, Crab Stuffed Mushrooms 🦀, etc.
There’s one that falls in this category and its Bruschetta. This popular Italian finger food is always a crowd pleaser 👨👩👧👦! Besides my Duxelles Bruschetta and my Italian-Style one, here’s another amazing version… my Shrimp Bruschetta!
Deliciously different and original, this take on a roman classic is simply incredible! It can be served as is as a snack or canapé, along with a charcuterie board, or with a green salad 🥗. It’s quick and easy to make with fabulous results!
The most common bruschetta is the basic tomato salad made with basil, onions 🧅, garlic and oil with salt and pepper, served over crostini. Don’t get me wrong, I love it but I’m that type of person that likes to elevate recipes just like when I created my Duxelles one.
As the title indicates, this version is made with shrimp that have been grilled on the BBQ and basted with my gorgeous Garlic Herb Butter. The crostini are spread with goat cheese before being topped with a tomato salad 🍅. Grilled shrimp follow and then its finished with a drizzle of my Homemade Balsamic Glaze… yummy!
Let’s talk about the cheese 🧀…
I love goat cheese but in the past few years, the prices went up quite significantly. These Shrimp Bruschetta are loaded with deliciousness therefore cream cheese can easily be swapped in lieu. It’s less expensive 💰 and will still deliver in the flavor department.
Before grilling 🔥 the shrimp, it’s important to pierce them twice. It prevents them from spinning around, making it easier to flip as well as cooking them evenly. It also secures them, preventing them from falling off the skewer and into the BBQ.
These small bites are so flavorful and pair very well with a nice, crisp, dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. Additionally, one that is very refreshing and complements this featured recipe is White Sangria. It has a lovely citrusy note 🍋 that is a great match for shrimp!
With many events taking place during the summer season, this Shrimp Bruschetta is a wonderful appetizer to serve. With bold flavor, this is certainly a crowd-pleaser and you’ll certainly wow 😮 your guests with this classy finger food!
