Potted shrimps
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Ingredients for four
4oz. (100/125g.) butter
1 lb. (450g.) peeled shrimps
1/4 teaspoon powdered mace
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Clarified butter
Melt the butter over a medium heat.
Add the shrimps, mace and Cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Heat thoroughly, but do not allow the shrimps to boil as this toughens them. Stir them as they cook.
Put into small pots, and seal with clarified butter. Leave to chill in the refrigerator.
