These Parmesan Shrimp Bruschetta Bites are a delightfully easy appetizer that everyone will enjoy! Made with fresh mozzarella, crescent rolls and finished with a bruschetta topping.
Great for holiday parties, football, and more!
With the holiday season and football season packed right in with each other, I am constantly trying to come up with new and amazing appetizers to serve my guests. Sure, we have our tried and true recipes that make a regular appearance, but it’s fun to mix it up once in awhile with something new and fresh.
I have a couple requirements when it comes to appetizers. One, they have to be relatively easy. Meaning very little to no prep and quick to make. Two, they have to be something that I know my family will love. There is nothing worse than spending tons of time on a new recipe only to watch it get passed over by your guests in favor of something else. The worst.
I scored on both fronts with these Parmesan Shrimp Bruschetta Bites today. I started with a few key ingredients that I happen to know my family adores: SeaPak Parmesan Encrusted Butterfly Shrimp, crescent rolls, fresh mozzarella, and bruschetta topping. And then I put it all together.
The shrimp is rolled up in the crescent roll along with a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese. Baked until golden brown, it is then topped with a balsamic bruschetta topping made of fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil. In a word, scrumptious.
The bruschetta topping has all the right colors to make this appetizer perfectly for the holidays and fresh enough to be enjoyed all year round.
