I know it's unconventional, but it's delicious. You don't have to make a roux with butter and flour, since the cheese creates that creamy, thickened texture and adds the cheesy aspect to it. You can either use 2 packages of the spreadable cheese wedges or 1 package of the wedges and one package of brie cheese, like I do. The flavor of the brie is wonderful with the shrimp.
