Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 medium bulb of fennel, thinly sliced
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces

Instructions
- Creating Shrimp Fennel Bruschetta can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Bread: Arrange the sliced baguette on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toast in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Cook the Shrimp: In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Toss in the sliced fennel, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
- Squeeze in the lemon juice and add the zest, stirring to combine all the flavors. Cook for another minute.
- Remove the toasted bread from the oven. Top each slice with a generous spoonful of the shrimp and fennel mixture.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh finish.
- Enjoy your Shrimp Fennel Bruschetta while the bread is still warm and crispy.
