Shrimp Mold

Shrimp Mold is a fantastic dish to prepare a day or two ahead of time if you are having a party for which you need hors d'oeuvres.

Ingredients

• 1 can tomato soup
• 9 ounces cream cheese
• 1 1/2 tablespoons unflavored gelatine
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 3/4 cup finely chopped celery
• 3/4 cup finely chopped scallions
• 1 to 1 1/2 pounds medium or salad shrimp

Instructions

1. Soak gelatine in 1/4 cup cold water.
2. Heat soup to the boiling point and add cream cheese. You'll have to use a potato masher.
3. Add gelatine and let cool.
4. Add mayonnaise, celery and onions. Cool. When it begins to thicken, but not set, pour a layer of mixture into a large ring mold (greased with mayonnaise). Then add a layer of cooked shrimp, etc. until the mold is filled.
5. Refrigerate.
