Delicious shrimp dip mold
 
Shrimp molded spread - (to be spread on crackers or on celery sticks)

2 pkts Knox unflavored gelatine
1/4 cup hot water
1 Can Campbells tomato soup
6 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
either 2 cans of canned shrimp, or equivelant amount of fresh, cooked,
peeled and chopped shrimp
(I used frozen shrimp, boiled for 3 minutes, peeled and chopped)
1 cup of Mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup finely chopped celery

Chop veggies and measure them
Cook shrimp, peel and chop them

Dissolve 2 pkts of gelatin in 1/4 cup hot water
Add the undiluted can of soup, and heat and stir well
Blend in cream cheese well
add celery, onion, mayonnaise and shrimp and stir well

Pour into a lightly greased (I used Pam) dish and chill till set.

Invert onto a plate and serve with crackers.
They will think you are a culinary genius.

Note: I have seen this done in the shape of a fish, decorated beautifully,
with "scales" of sliced cucumbers, and olive eye, etc.


Not sure about the exact carb count, but if you don't use crackers, you will
be OK.

Actually I just guessed how much, according to the amount of sauce I ended
up with after everything was mixed together. I had a Sam's club bag of
shrimp, (couldn't tell you the weight) I doubled the basic recipe and just
added the whole bag's worth. I have also made it with the tiny salad
shrimp you can buy frozen. Honestly making it with the canned shrimp is
still good, but it is better with the fresh. The quantity isn't a big
issue. I am guessing that I put in about at least 1-1/2 cups of cut up
shrimp.

Where I used to work, a favorite potluck dip was a block of cream cheese
topped with a can of tiny shrimp and a jar of cocktail sauce. Crackers and
raw veggies were used to dip. I never tried it as I don't like cream cheese
or shrimp. Not sure about the cocktail sauce.

That sounds like the crab dip mold someone made for the lunch at work.
VERY good!

Hi PP,

I imagine you could use crab or even a nice cooked and flaked white fish.
I don't think it would be very good if you tried tunafish though. But it
is so delicious with shrimp, I never even think to change it.

I find the recipe works out best if you get all the ingredients ready,
chopped, measured etc. and then just go through all the steps quickly.

I doubled the recipe and made three different molds. I gave one to my next
door neighbor to take to her thanksgiving party, and I have two more for the
next two days for the parties I will be attending. I'll bring one to each.

When I flip it out of the container onto a plate, I put a little slice of
lemon and some parsley sprigs on top.

The recipe I have calls for crab, and mushroom soup instead of the tomato
soup, but otherwise it's the same. :-) It's all good. I make mine in a fish
mold and it always looks really pretty.

We use crab instead of shrimp. They're good with triscuit crackers...I like
it with celery.

That sounds like a good variation. I will try that sometime. This time I
made the shrimp with a too-large size because I couldn't find the tiny ones.
I cut them up, but it still turned out to be more chunky than it ought to
be. It was still delicious and everyone liked it. I had some of the
leftover dip on a half a roll this morning for breakfast.

I love that stuff Evelyn, and I'm am really anxious to try it with the
tomato soup and shrimp. Mmmmmmm.

Hi Cheri,

We ate some of the leftover dip on crackers for lunch today! It's really
good. I made WAY too much by doubling the recipe. I could have gotten by
with the single recipe that I posted. I divided the total into three
molds, because I had to go to two different parties and gave one to my
neighbor for her to bring to her son's. It was way too much, and I didn't
chop the shrimp up finely enough. Actually it turns out best if you use
the tiny frozen shrimp. But my neighbor called me to tell me how delicious
it was and they ate every last morsel of it. Good!
