I have found this is fairly easy to put together and impresses to boot!

If you don't cook much, and you're cooking for two, here's what I would do:

Quickly saute some precooked shrimp in butter, green onions, garlic and white wine. Just enough to heat them up and add a bit of flavor. Depending on their size, I'd say 6-10 shrimps.

Remove the shrimp to a cutting board and cut into pea-sized pieces.

In a bowl, bring about half a "bar" of cream cheese to room temp. Add about 4 tablespoons of green onions, a teaspoon of pepper and about 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.

Take four slices of french bread (preferrably a loaf that you've cut about 1" thick). Spread the cream cheese mixture on the bread. Spoon the shrimp over the cream cheese and top each piece with swiss or pepperjack cheese. My preference is pepperjack, but some like swiss as well.

Place in a toaster or regular oven on a high heat, around 375-400. Bake just long enough to see the cheese melt and bubble.

Don't know what they're called, but they are VERY good little shrimp sandwiches!
