Part 4/8:
While the tomatoes cook, attention shifts to garlic bread. Rather than baking in the oven, a quick stovetop method is employed. Minced garlic, plenty of butter (about 6 tablespoons), and a low to medium heat ensure the garlic gently toasts without burning—taking only a couple of minutes. The garlic butter mixture is then set aside, ready to toast the buns for extra flavor.
For the bread, soft brioche buns are ideal—rich and buttery, perfect for soaking up the shrimp scampi sauce and providing a tender bite. The garlic butter is lightly toasted on the buns until golden, creating a flavorful crust that complements the seafood filling.
