As an appetizer ...

Peel and devein the shrimp

Make a mixture of horseradish, cream cheese and sour cream that's pretty
thick (how's 'bout that for a recipe!). So, more cream cheese than sour
cream and horseradish (I use freshly ground) to taste.

Put a water chestnut in the circular part of the shrimp, wrap with half a
bacon slice and secure with a toothpick. Do this as many times as you want!

Fry the shrimp/chestnut/bacon things in butter until the bacon is cooked on
both sides. Place on a cookie sheet and place a dollop of the horseradish
mixture on top.

Heat under a broiler until the horseradish mixture begins to brown.

Serve hot/warm.

Love these things!
