Sicilian Scampi (Olive Garden Style) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    35 slices ciabatta or 35 slices baguette (1 loaf)
    1 lb large shrimp, shelled,deveined and uncooked (31-40 per pound or larger)
    3/4 cup butter
    4 cloves garlic, chopped
    2 green onions, chopped
    2/3 cup white wine
    15 -20 black olives, sliced
    1 -2 roma tomato, diced
Preparation
    Cut the loaf of bread on an angle, half an inch thick, at least 35 slices.
    Arrange 5 slices on serving plates so they face in like flower petals.
    (You can toast the slices if you like) Heat the butter in a large skillet until it's bubbling lightly.
    Add the garlic and the WHITE of the onions and cook for a minute.
    Add shrimp and cook until it's just done.
    Place a piece of shrimp on the bread closest to the center of the circle, any extra I put in the space left in the center.
    Add the wine and olives to the remaining garlic butter in the skillet and cook until it's lightly boiling.
    About 2 minutes.
    Spoon sauce over the shrimp and bread.
    Garnish with the tomatoes and the GREEN of the green onions.
    Serve with napkins and eat with your fingers.
