Wonderful and easy to make!! -
I made this for our Christmas brunch and it was a HUGE hit with everyone! Was seriously decadent and perfect for a special holiday meal. -
I think I made this YEARS ago - and the recipe disappeared! Our Easter plans were delayed, and I had some good shrimp and defrosted bacon -- this was easily put together and VERY tasty. Will keep it handy to do again. Thanks, James ! Janey

Lots going on at once, (for an amateur cook like me) but the result is worth it... So good I ate leftovers! Thanks!
