Shrimp Tzatziki Bruschetta

Our Managing Editor Emani Fung shares her sister’s creative spin on a classic Mediterranean hors d'oeuvre

If there’s one thing that got me through the crazy year that was 2020, it was my sister Ivorine’s cooking. During quarantine, Ivorine would experiment with what seemed like a never-ending list of new recipes. While I couldn’t offer any culinary assistance to these exploits (to this day, I still struggle to even boil water), I was always ready to provide a pair of fresh tastebuds. Tasting was a job I did particularly well.

During this period, Ivorine would often go through different ingredient fads. One week, every dish would involve shiitake mushrooms. The next, it was shishito peppers. It was while she was in her tzatziki phase that this dish came to be.

Shrimp Tzatziki Bruschetta is the perfect combination of some of our favorite ingredients: seafood, warm bread, and, of course, tzatziki: the creamy Mediterranean dip made with Greek yoghurt, cucumbers, and fresh dill.

These hors d'oeuvres are zesty, buttery, and packed full of flavor. They’re the perfect snack for a breezy summer day, and a great way to show your dinner guests how creative and cultured you are.
