Step cooking
Making bread and dressing
- Cut a fresh baguette into pieces of 1-1.5 centimeters. You will need 5 pieces. You can also use ciabatta for bruschettas.
- Heat the grill pan, put the baguette on it. It must be browned until golden brown in a dry frying pan. This usually takes 3-5 minutes on each side (depending on the type of bread you have chosen for the bruschetta). Dry the bread so that it is browned on the outside, but remains soft inside.
- In a separate small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of ground red pepper, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, salt and pepper to taste. Mix the oil with spices thoroughly.
Shrimp Cooking
- If the shrimp is frozen, do not forget to first get them out of the freezer. You will need 5 shrimp. It is advisable to take king prawns, as they are large and look beautiful on bruschettas, but ordinary ones will do as well. If the shrimp is with the head, separate the head, clear the shrimp from the shell, make an incision on the back and remove the dark intestinal vein. Salt the shrimp, pepper and sprinkle with a pinch of sugar.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan, put the shrimp in hot oil and fry them for about 1 minute over medium heat on each side (until the shrimps turn pink).
- Leave the shrimp to cool.
Bruschett Formation
- Grease each piece of baguette with cream cheese (such as Philadelphia). For 5 bruschettes you will need 150 grams of cheese.
- Place the shrimp on top of the cheese.
- Pour each bruschetta with a small amount of dressing from olive oil and spices.
- Rub the zest of half lime on a fine grater. Sprinkle bruschettas with it. The appetizer is ready. Enjoy your meal!
