Prep: 25 mins | Cook: 10 mins

1. Pour olive oil into a skillet and set over medium-low heat. Add the 8 crushed garlic cloves; cook for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove the garlic and set in a food processor. Keep the oil in the skillet.
2. Pulse parsley and cooked garlic together in the food processor. Pour 1/4 cup of the mixture into a bowl and set aside, then pour ricotta and Parmesan into the food processor and pulse with remaining parsley-garlic mixture.
3. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
4. Reheat the olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the minced garlic and cook in hot oil for 1 minute, then stir in shrimp with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5 minutes, or until shrimp curl and turn opaque. Then toss with the reserved 1/4 cup parsley and garlic.
5. Top each piece of bread with ricotta-garlic mixture, then pour some of the shrimp on top. Place on a baking sheet.
6. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
