In a shallow baking dish (or small quiche dishes), pour in part of the sauce. Place the shrimp around the rim (or rims) with tails over the side, being sure the meat is well coated. Mix the bread crumbs with the remaining sauce and sprinkle over the dish. Bake 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm with slices of sourdough.

The shrimp can't carry all the delicious sauce however. Serve a loaf of warm, sliced sourdough for dipping.
