Caramelized Onion And Shrimp Bruschetta Recipes

Steps:

• In 12-inch heavy skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat until sizzling. Cook onions in butter 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are softened. Stir in sugar and vinegar. Cook 9 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are very soft and light golden brown. Cool onion mixture slightly, about 10 minutes.

• Spread about 2 teaspoons cream cheese on each bread slice. Top each with 1 tablespoon onion mixture; sprinkle with small amount parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 425 degrees.

• Arrange bread on baking sheet. Evenly rub with garlic, then brush with remaining olive oil. Bake 10 minutes or until golden. Evenly spread Pasta Sauce on bread, then top with cheese, onion and pine nuts. Bake 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• *SUBSTITUTION: Use your favorite prepared pizza crust instead of bread for a quick meal.

Steps:

• Place raisins in a small bowl and cover with boiling water; set aside for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add onions and cook, stirring often, until the onions are softened and beginning to color, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes more.
• Drain and chop the raisins; add to the onions along with capers, dill, pepper, salt & a touch of hot sauce (to balance out the flavors).
• Cook uncovered, stirring, for 5 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl and let cool for at least 30 minutes.
• Top each slice of bread with 1 tablespoon onion spread and 1 shrimp.

Steps:

• Mix shrimp with Old Bay®, garlic powder, tomato, green onion, 1 teaspoons olive oil and egg white in a medium bowl. Stir until well blended.
• Place bread slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with the 2 Tbs olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. Broil until lightly toasted.
• Remove from oven and change oven setting to 350°F on bake.
• Spread toasted slices lightly with mayonnaise. Spoon shrimp mixture evenly over bread slices.
• Bake at 350°F 8-10 minutes, or until thoroughly heated and lightly browned.
• Makes 24 single servings.

Steps:

• Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add vegetable oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the onions and salt. Do not stir immediately. Wait 1 minute, then begin to stir frequently over high heat for 5 minutes, or until the onions have released liquid and started to become translucent.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add Marsala. Cook, stirring often, for what will seem like an eternity, until the onions are fully melted and dark brown, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
• Heat a heavy-bottomed pan with high sides over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add vegetable oil. Once the oil shimmers, add butter. When butter foams, add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are golden brown, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium low and, using a wooden spoon, create a well in the middle of the mushrooms. Add thyme, salt, black pepper and shallots; sweat until shallots have cooked through and become translucent, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
• Return heat to high and add sherry vinegar to deglaze pan, then add cream and bring to a low boil.
• Check for seasoning. Mushrooms can be reserved until needed, then reheated over a medium flame. Add a splash of extra cream to loosen, if needed.
• Grill or toast bread to a light char.
• Spread 2 tablespoons caramelized onions over each piece of toast, followed by approximately 1/4 cup of creamed mushrooms.
• Garnish with minced chives.
