Tapannade
Put olives, anchovy paste, capers, garlic and lemon juice in a food processor or blender. Process to form a paste. Slowly add 3 or 4 tablespoons olive oil while processing. (Makes one cup.) Heat 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil with sliced garlic; sauté for about 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until opaque (see cooking times below). Spread garlic toast with a thin layer of tapannade. Top with basil leaves and tomato. Place shrimp on top of garlic toast. Serve with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, if desired.
