Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, and then into pieces to your desired size for the pizza bread base. Place the slices on a baking sheet, cut side up. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and minced garlic. Mix well to create a garlic-infused oil.
Brush the cut sides of the baguette slices generously with the garlic-infused olive oil. Make sure each slice is well-coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of the garlic-infused olive oil. Add the shrimp and sauté for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon zest. Mix well until fully combined.
Spread a generous amount of the ricotta mixture on each baguette slice. Top with sautéed shrimp, distributing them evenly across all the slices.
Place the baking sheet with the assembled pizza bread into the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden and crispy, and the ricotta cheese is slightly melted.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and a drizzle of any remaining garlic-infused olive oil, if desired.
Serve your Garlic Shrimp Pizza Bread warm as an appetizer or a main dish. Enjoy your delicious creation!
Tips:
- To enhance the flavor, marinate the shrimp in olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic for about 15 minutes before cooking.
- To ensure the baguette is crispy, lightly toast it in the oven before adding the toppings.
- For a little heat, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the ricotta cheese mixture.
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor, but if using frozen shrimp, make sure they are fully thawed and patted dry to avoid excess moisture.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil before serving for an extra touch of freshness and flavor.
There you have it - a delectable garlic shrimp pizza bread that's sure to be a hit at any meal. With a blend of vibrant flavors from the lemon zest, fresh parsley, and succulent shrimp, all atop a crispy, garlic-infused baguette, this dish is a true delight. Pair it with a fresh salad or enjoy it on its own, and savor every bite!
