We whipped up this simple little appetizer a few weeks ago on a trip to the beach. We were able to get fresh-caught shrimp from a seafood market and used tomatoes from our own garden. Shrimp is a great source of heart-healthy omega-3 fats and the whole-wheat baguette adds fiber. Enjoy your summer!

Serving size: About 2 slices

Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves sliced thin
Whole wheat baguette cut into 1/2 slices
1 4 oz. package goat cheese
1 cup green onions, chopped
1 cup tomato, chopped
1 lb. steamed medium-sized shrimp (26-30), peeled and chilled

Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Heat oil in skillet over medium heat and add garlic. Sauté for five minutes and remove from heat. Brush olive oil and garlic on slices of baguette.

3. Toast baguette slices in the oven for 5 minutes.

4. Layer goat cheese, onion and tomato on baguette slices. Top with two cold shrimp and serve.
