Is this served directly from the baking dish and spread with a knife
or use a spoon to scoop it up and put on the bread?

You could serve it that way. I would move it to a serving dish before
serving..

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. "Baking dish" threw me because
I'd put the tomatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet to put
in the oven.

I just posted a similar recipe and I put it in individual ramekins for
serving.

This is similar and was also an appetizer when I got the original
recipe. I've changed it a lot so I can call it mine now. We've had
it as a stand alone meal for dinner many times. I do use the optional
ingredients. Sometimes I'll drop a chunk of gorgonzolla in the corner
of the pan but I don't mix it with the shrimp. The bleu cheese and
tomato on the bread is great.

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tb. lemon juice
1 cup crumbled feta
