Ingredients
- 10 ounces grape tomatoes
- 1 ½ cups cucumber sliced
- 1 cup red bell pepper diced
- ¾ cup onion diced; sweet variety
- 3 tablespoons olive oil tablespoon
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 garlic small cloves
- 28 ounces San Marzano Tomatoes drained, canned
- lemon juice of 1/2 lemon
- 8 ounces Shrimp peeled, fresh
- 2 teaspoons butter
Instructions
- Cut 8 of the grape tomatoes into quarters. Combine with 1/4 cup of the cucumber, 1/4 cup of the red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup onion. Mix and set aside to use for garnish.
- Combine remaining tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell pepper with the 2 tablespoons of the oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, 2 of the garlic cloves, and San Marzano tomatoes in a food processor. Pulse until roughly chopped. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Combine the remaining tablespoon of oil, lemon juice, remaining garlic clove (minced), with the shrimp in a medium bowl. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Add the butter to a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, about 4 minutes or until shrimp is done.
- To serve: Ladle soup into serving bowls. Top with a few tablespoons of the garnish and several shrimp.
- For the cheese toasts: Preheat the broiler to high. Slice a traditional or whole wheat baguette into 8 slices. Spread each slice with softened butter. Place slices on a baking sheet. Broil for 2 or 3 minutes or until toasted. Remove from oven and sprinkle each slice with about 2 teaspoons of Pecorino Romano (or Parmesan) cheese. Broil 1 more minute or until the cheese is melted.
