Spread a thin layer of softened butter on 1 side of each bread slice. Place bread buttered side down in the same skillet. Place a slice of Colby Jack cheese on bread, top with shrimp pieces. Place Cheddar cheese slice on top of shrimp. Place remaining bread slice on top of sandwich, buttered side up. Cook until bread is golden on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes.

Old Southern Chocolate Pecan Sheet Cake
I received this recipe from an old Southern cook, a copy of a copy of a typed-up sheet from long ago, annotated with her notes (which included the word oleo instead of margarine). I've never seen another chocolate cake recipe like it, which instructs the cook to heat part of the cake batter on the stove, and pour the cooked icing over a hot cake. The result is a wonderfully rich (yet surprisingly light) chocolate sheet cake topped with a cooked chocolate and pecan frosting. This cake has an incredible homemade taste, yet is foolproof!
