Instructions
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Slice baguettes crosswise into 8-10 rounds each. Spread out on a baking sheet (two baking sheets for 4) and drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Toast on top rack (top and middle racks for 4) until golden brown, 5-10 minutes. Transfer crostini to a plate (reserve baking sheet for Step 4). • Meanwhile, quarter lemon. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop parsley.
• Grate tomatoes on the largest holes of a box grater over a small bowl. (TIP: Trim stem ends off tomatoes first to make grating easier!) Stir in juice from one lemon wedge, ½ tsp salt, a pinch of garlic, and a pinch of pepper. Set aside, stirring occasionally.
• In a medium bowl, gently combine beef*, panko, Vidalia onion paste, half the paprika, salt (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. • Form into 10-12 1-inch meatballs (20-24 meatballs for 4 servings). • Arrange meatballs on baking sheet used for crostini. Roast on top rack (middle and top racks for 4) until browned and cooked through, 12-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat very dry with paper towels (this will help prevent them from splattering in the pan). • In a medium pan, combine remaining garlic, remaining paprika, and 3 TBSP olive oil (for 4 servings, use a large pan and 6 TBSP olive oil). Heat pan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is sizzling and fragrant, 3-4 minutes. TIP: Keep an eye on the garlic! If it begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to low. • Add shrimp to pan with garlic-paprika oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Turn off heat. Stir in half the parsley, 1 tsp vinegar, and juice from one lemon wedge (2 tsp vinegar and juice from two wedges for 4). Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Place romesco sauce in a second small microwave-safe bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave until warmed through, 30-60 seconds. Carefully uncover and stir.
• Strain tomato sauce through a fine-mesh strainer; discard excess liquid and return sauce to bowl. Spread romesco sauce over the bottom of a shallow serving bowl, top with meatballs and garnish with a pinch of parsley. Place shrimp in a second shallow serving bowl and garnish with a pinch of parsley. Separate prosciutto into slices and arrange in small bundles on a small serving platter. In a small serving bowl, combine ricotta with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add a drizzle of olive oil over ricotta and dollop with fig jam. • Serve everything with crostini and remaining lemon wedges on the side.
