Shrimp Bake

We had some shrimp we didn’t know what to do with, so threw this recipe together over the weekend.  Turned out fabulous!  Next time you’re wanting something just a little fancier for your shrimp, give this one a try.  This makes about 4 servings, and can be made in individual baking dishes as a side-dish.
