Melt butter and slowly blend in flour. Add milk gradually until thickened, stirring constantly.Stir in blue cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Heat until blue cheese is completely melted and pour over shrimp and vegetable mixture.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 35 minutes. This is great served over rice or noodles. Brie cheese can be used if a milder flavor is preferred.

Suzie's Blue Cheese Stuffed Shrimp -

3/4 tbsp. fresh parsley

Suzie's Grilled Spicy Shrimp With Blue Cheese Dip -

INGREDIENTS -

1 lb. 21-25 cooked shrimp

1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce

olive oil

1/2 cup blue cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tsp milk

1 tsp chopped fresh cilantro

2 tsp fresh lime juice

1 chive minced

DIRECTIONS -

Heat grill to medium heat (a George Foreman grill works or even a frying pan). Since shrimp is already cooked, you just want to brush shrimp with olive oil and place on grill for one minute than turn and repeat.

Combine blue cheese, sour cream, milk, cilantro, chives and lime juice.

Dip grilled shimp first into hot buffalo sauce than into blue cheese dip for an out of the world taste sensation.

I prefer to start with cooked shrimp. It's faster and easier.
