<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tonight’s dinner I wanted something different . We’ve been cooking chicken breast daily , I started to get tired of it . So seafood mix was the one I’m thinking for our protein source . I usually do pasta with it but that too I’m not too hungry for . So I was thinking butter and garlic would be simple yet delicious enough for this . And then instead of serving it with pasta , I chose to serve this with toasted bread . But plain toasted bread would be way too boring . And so why not making bruschetta ? It’s been years since I had them . Maybe 10 years or more ! But what to do , I don’t have french bread. And with quarantine life , I don’t want to just pick up and go to store to get french bread . It’s not like I have to get it . However , I have sourdough bread I made few days ago . The frozen seafood bag actually I bought from Aldi . Low carb obviously , low fat as many as seafood is and high in protein . That’s why I bought it . I just used olive oil and butter and lots of minced garlic to cook it . The secret for this dish is not to overcook it . Overcooked seafood would be chewy and rubbery , not good at all . It’s a quick dish to cook and I finish it up within few minutes on skillet before adding fresh lemon juice . I’d assume sprinkle of fresh parmesan would be yummy too .
