This was very easy and tasteful. When I was done, I also poured a little hot sauce on top for a little kick.

wonderful served them as an mid afternoon snack and they hit the spot perfectly. I used pre-cooked prawns and reduced the cooking time to 2 minutes. Will make this again. thanks KelBel

Yum! These made fabulous appetizers at our Christmas Eve party. I substituted shredded pizza cheese for the chevre and baked the cream cheese mixture. Also, instead of using fresh red bell peppers, I used roasted red peppers. Thanks for the recipe!

This was an excellent finger food, and would fit in well at any party. Next time I might add a tiny bit more seasonings to the cheese, as I found it a tiny, tiny bit on the bland side. We DID manage to find the chevre cheese, and maybe that's why. A lot of people subbed parmesan, which I think has a stronger flavor. But this was still absolutely lovely. My sister couldn't stop eating it. <3

This was wonderful and saved dinner for me since my fish I made was so strong I couldn't eat it. I couldn't find chevre cheese so mixed in about 4 oz of graded parmesan with the cream cheese. For the Garlic Shrimp, I added a sprinkle of Old Bay Seasoning and chopped the shrimp before cooking so I could get a better coverage over the bread. Used a French Baguette in place of the French bread because the store had just made it fresh. Other than that I followed the directions and made for a wonderful meal. Thanks so much for posting. This is a very versital recipes which I really like.
