Potted Shrimp
2 oz butter
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
100 gm prawns… cut into small pieces
salt and pepper
Melt the butter, add prawns, cayenne and nutmeg and stir until all covered with butter. Pop into ramekins, top with remaining melted butter and chill.
Serve with toast or bread and a squeeze of lemon.
I am not so sure about this. I could almost feel my arteries harden with each mouthful. It was tasty, and will develop nicely in the fridge though. I am a big fan of fish terrines and pates however so next time I will use less butter and add cream cheese and lemon. It will be less traditional, but very tasty.
Spooky… John did thid exact same thing for Valentines evening and I echo your sentiments!!
Oh no! Hope there was a bottle of something lovely in there too though.
