  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil.  Add the tomatoes and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and start to burst, 6-8 minutes.  Transfer the tomatoes to a plate and wipe the skillet clean. 
  2. Cook the Gorton’s Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi in the skillet according to package directions.  Remove from heat. 
  3. To assemble the bruschetta, spread about a teaspoon of Neufchatel cheese on each slice of toasted bread and spoon a teaspoon pesto on top.  Top with a few tomatoes and 1 or 2 shrimp.  Garnish with toasted pine nuts and fresh basil.  Serve immediately.
