Note
Ensure shrimp are peeled and deveined before cooking. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely and pat dry.
You can substitute butter for margarine in both the sautéing and breadcrumb steps for a richer flavor.
If you prefer a stronger cheese flavor, increase the amount of Swiss cheese or add a splash of garlic powder to the sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
