Ingredients

  • 16 Endive salad cups
  • 1/2 lb shrimp peeled & cleaned
  • 4 strips bacon
  • 1 Spring onion finely chopped
  • Small bunch fresh chives finely chopped

  • 1/2 baguette cut into slices
  • 1 Lemon wedges
  • Balsamic reduction
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lay the baguette slices on a baking tray and drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Bake for about 10 minutes or until crispy. Remove from oven and roughly break up the bread into small pieces. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet set over medium to high heat, add the remaining olive oil until sizzling. Add shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • In reserved pan, add the bacon. Cook each side for about 2 minutes. Remove from pan when just starting to go crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble bacon.
  • Assemble cups. First place bread crumbs inside the cups, then top with shrimp and bacon. Squeeze over lime juice and then top with a piece of cheese, chives and spring onion. Drizzle over balsamic reduction and top with a little sea salt.
  • Serve immediately.
