pernod shrimps on french bread

Every time I make it, it's a super hit.. As I flambé the shrimps, people have a ball at watching it. This dish is served in a local restaurant and when the chef retired recently he shared this precious well kept recipe with me... Now I have decided to share it with the WORLD... Enjoy it as much as I do with a glass of wine, a view on the ocean accompanied with a gentle breeze that caresses your cheeks, your arms and your whole being. The symphony of the birds, the crashing ocean wave sounds and the wonderful flip of a dolphin that comes to greet you.
