Shrimp With Garlic Herb Bread Crumbs

This dish is quick, easy and delish! It is a tried and true. It is made easier if you use a mini processor or regular size processor. If not you can grate the bread and finely chop garlic and herbs. It is best to use medium to large shrimp, that have been shelled and deveined. This dish never fails to please and has such great flavor for it's simplicity.
