For the Pesto:
1 pound fresh fava beans, shelled
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 tablespoon chopped mint leaves
1 tablespoon chopped basil leaves
1 garlic clove, peeled
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the fava beans and cook for 30 seconds. Drain the beans and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
2
Combine the fava beans, lemon zest, lemon juice, pine nuts, mint, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor and blend until finely chopped. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil and blend until smooth. Transfer the pesto to a small bowl and stir in the cheese.
3
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F. Place the bread slices on a large rimmed baking sheet and brush with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss the shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and arrange on another baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the bread is lightly toasted and the shrimp are cooked through.
4
Spread some pesto over each piece of bread and arrange the shrimp over the pesto. Top each toast with a few shards of cheese and serve.
