Ingredients:
- 2 - units of demi baguette
- 2 - scallions
- 1 - lemon
- 20 ounces - shrimp peeled, deveined
- 2 teaspoons - smoked paprika
- 6 ounces - cream cheese
- 1/2 cups - Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 4 teaspoons - olive oil
- 2 tablespoons - butter
- - salt and pepper
Directions:
Adjust oven rack so that it is about 4 inches from broiler and preheat broiler to high.
Cut baguette into 12 equal ½-inch thick slices. Place on a baking sheet and a sprinkle on both sides with a large drizzle of olive oil.
Wash and dry all produce. Trim, then thinly slice scallions. Cut lemon into wedges.
Rinse shrimp, then pat dry with a paper towel. Put 1 tablespoon of butter and smoked paprika in a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Once butter is melted, add shrimp and half the scallions. Cook, stirring, until shrimp is starting to turn pink, about 2 minutes.
Remove shrimp from pot and transfer to a cutting board. Chop into small pieces.
Reduce heat under pot to medium and add cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until smooth.
Return shrimp to pot, then season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon.
Place sheet with baguette slices under broiler and broil until baguette is lightly toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Divide shrimp mixture evenly between baguette slices, mounding it on top of each slice. Sprinkle evenly with cheese.
Return to broiler and continue broiling until cheese is melted and shrimp is cooked through, about 2 minutes.
Arrange bruschetta on a serving tray. Sprinkle with remaining scallions. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.
