Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Fry the shrimps lightly in a film of hot butter, or a mixture of olive oil & butter.
Step #2 Do this in batches.
Step #3 As soon as they turn pink & curl up, drain & keep aside.
Step #4 Mix the cornflour smoothly into a little of the cream cheese, then mix in the rest of the cream cheese.
Step #5 Grate the blue cheese if firm (otherwise mash it) & mix with the cream cheese in a bowl.
Step #6 Add next 4 ingredients, mix well, then stir in the the wine.
Step #7 The wine should be of very good quality, because acidic plonk will spoil the taste of the dish.
Step #8 Whisk to mix everything well together.
Step #9 Melt this cheese-wine mixture in a saucepan, stirring constantly.
Step #10 Watch closely: it should JUST reach boiling point & thicken slightly, otherwise it could curdle.
Step #11 Remove from heat, & stir in the the fried shrimps.
Step #12 Taste for seasoning: as blue cheese is salty, you should use your own discretion with the salt.
Step #13 Add pepper or Tabasco to taste: it doesn't have to be the exact quantity stated above.
Step #14 Serve in small heated bowls (ramekins will do).
Step #15 Garnish each with sliced chives or garlic chives & a few halves of de-pitted olives or a tomato slice.
Step #16 (Try serving this in pre-prepared baked phyllo pastry c! Fish can be substituted for the shrimps, but it must be a firm-fleshed type.
Step #17 You could also try crabsticks).
