Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (454 grams) jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed
- 3 cups (720 ml) sourdough bread, 1-inch cubes
- 1 pint (2 cups/480 ml) cherry tomatoes
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- ½ cup (120 ml) Niçoise olives, pitted
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) fresh parsley leaves
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) parsley, chopped
- 4 tbsps (60 ml) olive oil
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) red wine vinegar
- 1 anchovy, minced
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) capers, drained
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- parmesan shavings, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Calibrate the oven to 375°F (190°C), positioning the rack in the center for uniform heat distribution.
- Foundation Assembly: Spread red onions, bread cubes, cherry tomatoes, and olives across a large rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then drizzle olive oil, ensuring each component is thoroughly coated and arranged in a single, non-crowded layer.
- Initial Roasting: Bake the vegetable-bread mixture for 12-15 minutes, transforming bread into crisp, golden fragments. Watch carefully to prevent scorching, rotating the pan if necessary for even browning.
- Shrimp Integration: Toss shrimp with salt and olive oil, massaging to distribute seasonings evenly. Once bread mixture reaches desired golden state, nestle seasoned shrimp across the roasted foundation.
- Final Baking: Return the sheet pan to the oven, roasting for 8-10 minutes until shrimp turn opaque and develop a delicate pink hue.
- Dressing Creation: Whisk remaining olive oil, red wine vinegar, and minced anchovy in a small bowl. Fold in capers to amplify the flavor complexity.
- Finishing Touch: Extract the sheet pan, drizzle prepared dressing over the entire mixture. Sprinkle fresh parsley, gently tossing to ensure comprehensive flavor integration.
- Presentation: Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with additional parsley and delicate Parmesan shavings. Serve immediately to maintain optimal temperature and textural contrast.
Notes
- Maximize Crispiness: Spread bread cubes and vegetables in a single layer to ensure even toasting and prevent soggy results.
- Shrimp Timing is Crucial: Watch shrimp closely during the final 8-10 minutes of cooking to avoid overcooking, which can make them tough and rubbery.
- Boost Flavor Depth: Massage shrimp with oil and salt thoroughly to help seasonings penetrate and enhance overall taste profile.
- Quick Serving Matters: Plate and serve immediately after adding dressing to maintain the perfect temperature and crisp texture of bread and shrimp.
