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

    I made this for a Christmas dinner party and no one was impressed. The recipe calls for 9 tomatoes but it doesn't say what kind. They must mean cherry tomatoes b/c I used vine ripened and it was entirely too many. Beyond that the flavors just didn't go together very well. Mushrooms and bacon aren't exactly carribbean. Won't make again.

    This recipe was pretty good, followed it to a T. It did remind me of ceviche with all that lime! Ate some with bread, and the next day scooped some up with tortilla chips. I actually think I like this better as a dip than a spread. Still very yummy.

    I loved this. It is a perfect summer appetizer. Didn't change a thing.
