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.

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 1/2 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.
