Southern Shrimp Pate Recipe

Southern Shrimp Pate

From midgelet 15 years ago

spread on toast and serve at breakfast. You may also serve it as a cocktail snack or appetizer with wafers or crackers.

Prep does not include chilling:
Drop the shrimp into boiling salted water and cook uncovered for 3 minutes, until they are firm and pink.
Drain and pat completely dry with paper towels.
In a food processor or meat grinder chop until they form a smooth paste.
Beat the butter with a wooden spoon in a deep bowl until it is light and fluffy.
Combine all the ingredients except the ground shrimp and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
Add the shrimp and continue mixing until the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the shrimp paste to a serving bowl and smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Cover with foil or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, until the paste is firm.
Serve the paste directly from the bowl.
Makes about 3 cups.
