Category: Bruschetta, Crostini and Canapes

6 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 to 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 lb medium or large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp chicken broth
2 tbsp lemon juice
Salt
2 tbsp minced parsley

Italian or French Bread cut into cubes

Heat the oil, garlic and red pepper flakes in a large, shallow pan. When the garlic just begins to turn golden, add the shrimp and cook over high heat for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the broth and lemon juice.

If serving in the living room, pour into a large earthenware bowl and sprinkle with salt and parsley. Serve immediately.

Goes great with a nice dry white wine, dry sherry, or Martini

Note: Use more chicken broth and lemon juice if you like more sauce to dip the bread into.
