Baked Shrimp

Notes

*I love baked shrimp for this recipe, but feel free to cook the shrimp any way you’d prefer. You can even use canned shrimp - you’ll find it in the canned goods aisle next to the tuna.
**If you’d like a hot shrimp dip, simply spread the shrimp dip into an oven safe dish, top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, then bake, covered, at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until the dip is hot and the cheese has melted.
