Equipment
- Wide skillet
- Small sheet pan
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 2 thick slices sourdough bread
- 2 teaspoons neutral cooking oil for frying
- 1 yellow onion peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 flat anchovies from a tin packed in oil; optional
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
- ½ cup white wine or chicken stock
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- ½ teaspoon Aleppo pepper plus more for garnish
- 4 ounces baby arugula
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream optional
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil optional, for garnish
Instructions
Toast the Bread:
- Turn the oven to 250ºF. Butter both sides of the sourdough toast and place on a sheet pan. Transfer to the oven to toast as you prepare the dish.
Sauté the Onions:
- Heat the oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the anchovies and cook, mashing them into the onions until they 'dissolve' for 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the Shrimp:
- Pat the shrimp dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook, tossing occasionally, for about 2 minutes more or until they barely begin to turn opaque.
Deglaze the Pan:
- Add the white wine and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the skillet. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add the crushed red pepper and Aleppo pepper. Stir in the arugula and reduce heat to a low boil for 5-7 minutes more. Turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream, if desired, and season again with salt and pepper. As the broth reduces, chop the parsley.
To Serve:
- Transfer the bread to shallow bowls and pile the shrimp and arugula on top. Spoon more broth over each slice of bread. Garnish with more chili flakes – crushed red pepper or Aleppo – and serve with chopped parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy!
