Spot Prawn Crostini Appetizer

Ingredients

• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp pesto
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 baguette
• 24 spot prawns
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Fresh black pepper and sea salt to taste
• Small bunch of peppercress
• Small bunch of mustard

Directions

1. Prep your spot prawns (instructions here). Remove heads and peel tails.
2. In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, pesto and pepper to taste. Set aside.
3. Slice the baguette and place on a baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive oil and broil until lightly browned. About 2 minutes.
4. Heat the oil on medium heat, add garlic and stir until fragrant. About 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Add the prawns in batches. Cook each prawn for 1 to 2 minutes eash side or until pink and firm. It’s best to undercook rather than overcook.
