Bruschetta with avocado and shrimp

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make bruschetta with avocado and shrimp? Very simple and fast. To begin, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. Instead of a baguette, you can use a regular loaf.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the baguette diagonally into slices 1-1.5 cm thick

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with vegetable oil. I do this with a silicone brush.

4. STEP 4

   

   Dry in an oven preheated to 200°C for 5-7 minutes until a light golden color appears. The exact time depends on your oven. I baked it in the “top-bottom with convection” mode. Instead of baking in the oven, you can dry the bread in a dry frying pan on both sides.

5. STEP 5

   

   Now prepare the necessary ingredients for the filling. You can replace the shrimp with slices of red lightly salted or smoked fish.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the shrimp from the head and shell, leaving the tails for beauty if desired.

7. STEP 7

   

   Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium heat and brown the shrimp on both sides.

8. STEP 8

   

   Peel the garlic and chop it with a knife.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Peel each half and cut into slices. It is important to peel the avocados in this order. After all, avocado contains essential oils and after removing the peel the fruit becomes slippery. You may cut yourself when cutting it in half.

10. STEP 10

    

    In a blender bowl, combine avocado, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Salt everything. Beat in a blender until you obtain a soft, viscous, homogeneous mass. The paste should hold its shape and not spread. If you wish, you can add spices to your taste.

11. STEP 11

    

    Brush baguette slices with avocado paste.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place shrimp on top.

13. STEP 13

    

    If desired, top the bruschetta with thinly sliced ​​chili peppers. Since my family doesn’t really like spicy food, I added sliced ​​cherry tomatoes to the bruschetta for color. Decorate the bruschetta with fresh herbs and serve. Bon appetit!
