Ingredients
  

  • 1 baquette
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 shallot chopped finely
  • 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes sliced into thin strips
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Slice the baguette into wedges. About 4 inches. Using a knife, cut a hole about halfway into the baguette, making a boat of sorts. Put the bread into a 350 degree oven and get started on the shrimp. By the time the shrimp are done, your bread will be nice and toasty.
  • Have everything ready to go before you start to cook, it goes very quickly once you start. Like 8 minutes from start to finish.
  • Heat a medium saute pan over medium high heat. Add the olive oil, shallots, and sun dried tomatoes. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the shallots begin to soften.
  • Add the wine. And the garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp.
  • When the shrimp are almost cooked, add the butter in pats, stirring. It will thicken the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Take the bread out of the oven and put it on a plate. Pour some of the sauce directly into the bread.
  • Top with the shrimp and more sauce.
  • Garnish with chopped basil and Parmesan cheese.
