Ingredients

  • ¾ cup sun dried tomatoes packed in oil
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 to 6 leaves fresh basil plus small leaves for garnish
  • 20 medium cooked prawns thawed and tails removed*
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Pinch of ground black pepper
  • 4 thick-cut slices of Italian, French, or Sourdough bread
  • Oil to brush the grill

Instructions

  • Add the sundried tomatoes 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and basil leaves to a small food processor. Pulse until a spread forms. Add more olive oil if necessary. It should be thick, but the tomatoes should be finely chopped and at a spreadable consistency. Set aside.
  • Add the shrimp to a bowl. Pour in 2 teaspoons of olive oil, the salt, and the black pepper. Stir. Thread the shrimp on pre-soaked wooden skewers.
  • Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F and brush the grates with oil. Place the shrimp skewers on one side of the grill and the slices of bread on the other. Cook each for 90 seconds to 2 minutes on each side, until the shrimp show grill marks and the edges of the bread are crisp and darkened.
  • To serve, spread an even amount of the sundried tomato spread over each slice of bread. Top with 5 shrimp. Garnish with small basil leaves and serve warm.

Notes

*This recipe can be made using raw, cleaned shrimp. Simply cook the shrimp longer on each side, 3 to 4 minutes, until they turn opaque and grill marks show on the surface.
