Shrimp Alfredo Bruschetta

Anybody from PIttsburgh, PA out there? Anybody remember Gullifty’s, back in the 90′s when it was the place to go for desserts? Ah, memories. Unfortunately, the restaurant closed a couple years ago. I won’t attempt their desserts. Those are happy living in my memory. I will, however, try one of their appetizers. This is my honey’s favorite and he says mine is better.
