Lemon & Pesto Shrimp Crostini

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Course: Appetizer, Snack
Cuisine: American, Italian
Servings: 12 crostini
Calories: 302kcal

Ingredients

  • 12 shrimp peeled and de-veined
  • 1/2 large baguette
  • 3-4 whole roasted red peppers from jar
  • 6-8 sun-dried tomatoes from jar
  • 1/2 cup pesto
  • 1/4 cup olive oil + 1 tbsp divided
  • 2 tbsp garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combing shrimp, 1 tbsp olive oil, italian seasoning, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  • Roughly chop roasted red peppers and sundried tomatoes, combine, and set aside.
  • Slice baguette into rounds approximately 1/2 inch thick. Combine remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and minced garlic in a small bowl. On a large baking sheet, lay out baguette rounds evenly and brush both sizes with the garlic/oil mixture.
  • Place baking sheet in the oven and set to BROIL (or preheat oven to 525F). Let roast for 5-7 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned around the edges. Remove, flip baguette rounds, and return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Heat a large dry pan on medium-high. When hot, add marinated shrimp, ensuring that they are evenly spaced and not overlapping. Sear for 2-3 minutes, then flip. Sear for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove.
  • Lower heat to medium-low. Add roasted red pepper and sundried tomato mixture to the still-hot pan, and warm through for about 5-7 minutes or until fragrant and lightly toasted. Remove.
  • Assemble crostini by layering a toasted garlic oil baguette round with 1-2 tsp pesto, 1-2 tsp hot pepper/tomato mixture, and 1 shrimp.
