Shrimp Bruschetta with Fennel & Dill Salad
Prepare the fennel, dill salad first so that it is ready when the bruschetta is finished.
Ingredients
- 14 oz Large Raw Shrimp deveined
- 2 garlic cloves thinly sliced
- large handful of parsley roughly chopped
- 2 lemons
- 4 slices of Ciabatta or Sourdough
- 1 fennel bulb thinly sliced
- 1 small handful of fresh dill finely chopped
- Mixed leaves
- Salt
- Olive oil
- butter
Instructions
- Start by preparing your salad, as once the shrimp are cooked, you’ll want to get them out and eat them fairly sharpish! Combine the fennel, dill and mixed leaves in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice and finish with a nice pinch of salt. Toss well and set aside.
- Next, bring a pan to medium / high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add the shrimp, and just as they start to colour, add the garlic and a couple of knobs of butter. Keep tossing the pan until all the shrimp are nice and pink, then remove from the heat, add the juice of a whole lemon and the parsley.
- Toast the bread and start plating up using the fennel as a base or side salad.
- Served with a chilled glass of Mirabeau Pure. Enjoy!
