Pour strained butter into clean skillet. Add shallots, garlic, salt and bay leaf; fry over medium heat, stirring, until shallots are translucent, about 4 minutes. Add shrimp; fry until pink, about 3 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
In food processor, coarsely chop together shrimp mixture, lemon juice, vodka (if using) and horseradish. Add cheese; chop until incorporated and shrimp are still slightly chunky. Let cool.
