After I found this recipe in a cookbook, I fiddled with it to better suit my family. Now my husband and son love the ham and shrimp combination.

    I almost always have shrimp on hand and was looking for a way to use up a little leftover ham; I found this in my Cooking for Two cookbook (which I don't think I could live without, now that we are empty-nesters.) My husband liked it well enough to eat the leftovers for lunch...good sign!
