Time: 20 minutes

I have made this recipe easily a dozen times as it is so easy and so very tasty. It comes from a skillet recipe book that I have, but it is such a sophisticated appetizer, I paired it with the theme from the Godfather. Truly for the suave and debonair…

Add in shrimp and heat up until they are hot, but not over cooked.

Serve with spoons so you can put shrimp and a bit of extra sauce on each slice of bread. Have lots of bread handy to sop up the creamy sauce even after all the shrimp are gone!
