Preparation:

To Make Crostini: Boil, peel, and chill shrimp. Mix goat cheese, herbs, lemon juice, and salt and set aside. Cut 18 slices bread for crostini, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic, and run under broiler until lightly browned. Spread crostini with herbed cheese and place a shrimp on each one. Roast peppers 2 inches under broiler, turning every 2 minutes until skins blister thoroughly. Cool, peel, and cut into thin strips. Mix with olive oil and salt and chill. To serve, place roasted peppers in center of a platter, drizzle with more olive oil if desired, and sprinkle with capers and black pepper. Put crostini around edge of platter and garnish with parsley.
