How to make Grilled Shrimp Bruschetta: step-by-step guide
Cooking methods
Preparation steps
- Gather and measure the ingredients.
- Rinse the tomatoes with cold water and dice them.
- Mince the garlic and chop the basil.
- Rinse the shrimp under cool water.
- Heat a 10" or larger cast-iron skillet over medium heat on the stovetop.
Cooking instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with two tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Once the cast-iron skillet is hot, sear each shrimp on each side for 2-3 minutes until it goes from translucent to opaque in the center and the color changes to a pinkish white.
- Once that happens, remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside to cool.
- Combine the diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and chopped basil leaves in a large bowl and add the balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
- Toss the pan-seared shrimp into the mix, dress it up on a plate, and serve.
Chef's pro tip
To prevent overcooking the shrimp, keep a close eye on its color during cooking. Once the shrimp turns opaque in the center and changes to a pinkish-white color, it's time to remove it from the skillet and let it cool.
