This is one of the recipes I served during the holidays. It is a blend of shrimp, two cheeses, and some interesting spice choices. When I made them, they were always gone within five minutes. :-) You can make the shrimp filling ahead of time, and then all you have to do is toast the bread, and pop them under the broiler. Easy/Peasy. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
