| 1. Make the pesto (this can be done ahead): Stick a palmful of almonds, a small handful of parsley, and a heart attack-inducing amount of salt in a food processer until it's nice and crumbly (don't worry about the salt, the pesto will be eaten in small portions!) Beat together about a tablespoon of softened butter with a couple glugs of olive oil until the butter floats around in little clumps. Mix oil mixture and almond/parsley mixture together and add freshly ground pepper. Taste it because it probably needs more salt, then plastic-wrap your container and put it in the fridge for later or continue the recipe. | 2. Preheat the broiler. | 3. If you're using fresh shrimp, shell and take the yucky stuff out, butterfly, then cook, saute, or grill with olive oil and black pepper. If using pre-cooked shrimp, thaw. | 4. Thinly slice the onion, and preserve the circle shape while saute-ing gently in oil just until tender, ~5 minutes. | 5. Slice the bread 1-1.5 inches thick and lay out on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with olive oil. | 6. Thinly slice tomatoes, cover each crostini with one layer (either one slice from a big tomato or three slices from a grape tomato). | 7. Place a slice of the onion on top of each tomato, lay one (jumbo) or two (small) shrimp on top of the onion. Sprinkle chopped green onion over the tops. | 8. Broil until the bread is nice and toasty, about 10 minutes. | 9. Spoon a small amount of pesto onto each crostini, and serve. | 10. For bonus points, sprinkle with mozerella cheese! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
