Wash shrimp and pat dry.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy saute pan over medium-high heat.
When hot, add shrimp, shallots, and minced garlic. Saute for about 3 minutes or until shrimp has just turned pink.
Scrape in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Chop, using quick on-and-off turns. Add ⅓ cup of the oil, bread crumbs, parsley, cheese, capers, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and process until just combined. Do not puree.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using ¼ cup of the oil, brush each slice of bread and then rub with the garlic clove. Lay the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 6 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and spread the shrimp mixture on top of each slice. Drizzle with remaining oil and serve immediately.
