If you love seafood as much as I do, you're going to go gaga over this fresh and delicious Seafood Bruschetta with Corn, Scallops and Shrimp! With complimentary flavors and a small ingredients list, this bruschetta really lets the shrimp and scallops shine.

Simply prep the bruschetta using quality knives, such as this multi-piece set from Karibe, and make some quick and easy baguette toasts, and you've got an appetizer everyone will love.

Making the seafood bruschetta

To make this shrimp and scallop bruschetta, you'll whip up some quick baguette toasts in the oven, and prep the remaining ingredients while the bread crisps. With prep, this recipe only takes about 15 minutes to prep, and a few minutes to assemble.

You can serve the bruschetta immediately, or make the toasts and bruschetta in advance, and assemble when guests arrive. Juts store the toasts in an airtight container or bag, and pop the bruschetta in the fridge until you're ready to eat.

What do you need to make the seafood bruschetta?

To make this super simple and delicious seafood appetizer, you will need:

Fresh or frozen/thawed Scallops.
Raw jumbo Shrimp.
Fresh Basil.
Cherry Tomatoes.
Shallot.
A lemon.
Fresh or frozen corn.
Olive oil.
A crusty baguette.
A good set of knives and cutting board.

Loaded with fresh produce, this bruschetta only required a few minutes of cooking for the seafood and corn, and a bit of knife work. It's a great fast and easy seafood appetizer you can prep ahead and have ready to assemble for parties and get-togethers!

Can you substitute the fresh corn when not in season?

In short- yes! If you can't get your hands on fresh in-season corn, you can make this recipe with frozen corn! It's just as delicious, and easy! Just sub 2 corn cobs for ½ cup frozen kernels.

Prepping the appetizer ingredients

As far as seafood appetizers go, this recipe is pretty to whip up. I used my Karibe cutlery set, and it was a breeze! The chef's knife obviously comes into play, but I also like to use the paring knife for smaller cuts, like the shallot. Their bread knife glides effortlessly through the crusty baguette as well, making the toasts fast and easy.
