Lemon Shrimp Bruschetta (Gamberi Limone)

INGREDIENTS
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
12 Medium Shrimp
Fresh Parsley
Lemon Rinds
Salt & Pepper
Fresh Garlic Clove
Limoncello or Fresh Lemon Juice
Day Old Bread or Good Italian Bread

In a pan heat your olive oil either grate or slice off only the yellow part of the lemon. Remember, the yellow part of the lemon tastes the same as the lemon juice, but if you cut too deep into the white part, it will be bitter.  So only getting the rind, put it into the olive oil, add your Limoncello and allow it to burn off.  If you do not have Limoncello and do not want it as sweet or are worried about the alcohol, use fresh lemon juice from your lemons instead.  Chop and add the shrimp until they are cooked.

 

Now toast your bread slices, rub gently with a cut garlic clove, add salt and pepper.  After your shrimp has cooked, pour it all over the toasted bread slices.
