I fixed this appetizer using some frozen cooked shrimp left over from a reception. I chopped the shrimp as suggested by Nimz, but added a little more wine to juice up the shrimp-onion mixture. I also subbed shredded Italian 4-cheese for the swiss. We served it in a fondue-style chafing dish and it was a great hit at a recent "I Hate Winter" party. Tostitos scoops and Wheat Thins flat bread were a great way to serve it up. However, it would really do a number on my loctose-intolerant wife!

This was an excellent appetizer and would be great at Holiday get togethers. I used raw medium shrimp that I cooked when I added the wine and they were done in just a couple of minutes. My Swiss cheese had gone bad so used monterey jack which worked well. I think next time I'll coarsely chop the shrimp. I'll also put this in the crock pot to keep it warm. Thanks Teresa for sharing this keeper. Made for PRMR :)
