Greek Shrimp Bruschetta

Refreshing for the summer and 

perfect for a party!

This is a great do-ahead recipe.  The baguette rounds can be toasted a day
or two ahead, and the shrimp mixture can also be prepared ahead and chilled.
If preparing in advance, mix all ingredients together, except the feta cheese.
When ready to serve mix in the feta.

As Always, 

ENJOY!
