Shrimp Bread
Shrimp + Bread + Cheese! Need I say more? My cousin and her hubby shared this loaf of delicious-ness with us at the beach one year and it was an instant favorite. You can add a salad, and make a meal of it. Or you can slice it and serve as an appetizer. The best part? You can make it using your leftover shrimp. Yep, a brand new meal with leftovers. Winner winner, shrimp dinner.
First, rough chop your shrimp. With this batch we had tossed the shrimp in olive oil, salt, pepper and parsley and grilled them. We used about a pound of cooked shrimp.
Next, stir in your mayo, garlic, chopped onion, salt, pepper. The mayo helps bind together the mixture. Then add your cheeses, reserving a little for later, and stir.
Slice your french bread loaf horizontally down the middle, so you have two flat sides of the loaf. Spoon mixture onto the bread and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake approx. 22 minutes at 350. Then broil on low 2-3 minutes or until cheese and bread is toasted. Instant happiness.

I will try this. But, I don't think I've ever had leftover shrimp
Amazing how something so simple can be soooo good! And your idea of having it with a salad as a complete meal is great. Romaine, cucunbers and tomatoes with a vinaigrette.....delicious.
