Caribbean Bruschetta with Shrimp and Scallops
Recipe courtesy Josh Garcia

Ingredients
2 ounces extra-virgin olive oil
12 pieces thinly sliced French bread
9 tomatoes, seeded and diced
3 limes, juiced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1/2 Spanish onion, sliced
1/2 radicchio, thinly sliced
1/2 ounce assorted mushrooms (button and shiitake)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced

6 slices bacon, chopped and cooked
1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
6 large shrimp
6 large scallops
Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
2 tablespoons freshly sliced green onion

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Drizzle olive oil over bread and toast lightly in the oven.

In a large bowl, add tomatoes, lime juice, balsamic and sugar and stir to
combine.

In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, add onion and cooked until
caramelized. Add radicchio and mushrooms and cook until radicchio has wilted and
mushrooms have released their liquid. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
Add minced garlic and cooked bacon and stir to combine. Remove from heat and
allow to completely cool.

Fold cooked onion-bacon mixture into the tomato mixture and add the chopped
cilantro.

Preheat grill to high.

Grill shrimp and scallops until opaque. Season both sides with salt, pepper and
crushed red pepper flakes. Remove from the grill and slice the scallops and

shrimp in half.

Top each toasted bread slice with the tomato mixture, grilled scallop, and grilled
shrimp and garnish with sliced green onions.
