Shrimp Alfredo Bruschetta

Heat oven to 350 F. Place bread slices on a lined baking tray and put it in the oven to toast. There’s no set time on this. Just keep an eye on it until it gets to the level of toasting that you prefer.

While bread is toasting, continue with other ingredients.

Put butter in a small pot and melt over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add sliced garlic and stir. Cook garlic over medium heat for about 30 seconds, then lower the heat to as low as you can. The butter and garlic will slowly brown. When you notice the garlic turning light brown, turn off the heat and set garlic butter aside.

Pour the Alfredo sauce into a pot and slowly bring it up to just below a simmer. Add blue cheese and stir through to melt. Once the blue cheese is melted, taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Let the sauce just come up to a simmer over medium/low heat, and add your shrimp. The shrimp will gently poach in the sauce. Depending on the size of your shrimp, this will take anywhere from 3 to 8 minutes. Just give it a stir every couple minutes and when the shrimp are completely pink, you are ready to serve.

Put 2 toast slices on a plate and brush them with the garlic butter. Top with 3 or 4 shrimp per toast and spoon some of the Alfredo sauce over it all. Sprinkle with Parmesan and enjoy!

Note: Because I am an over-achiever, I make my own bread and my own Alfredo sauce. You don’t have to. Seriously, this meal can come together in 15 minutes start to finish if you use ready made items.
