Shrimp Pate From: Kitchenlink rec.food.cooking/Michelle Wright-Watson
This has become one of my favorites...
1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled and devained cooked with "crab boil" spices in the water then minced in the food processor. 1/2 cup melted butter 1/3 cup mayonnaise 1 small onion, minced 2 tblespoons fresh lemon juice dash of cayanne pepper
Mix together and pack into a mold (a bowl will do if you don't have a mold). Refrigerate for 3 hours. Unmold and pour sauce over pate.
Sauce: 1 cup catsup 2 tablespoons horseradish 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Serve with small peices of sliced bread, or crackers.
Notes: I mix the sauce ahead of time so the flavors have a chance to blend. I have made this the night before a party and it seems to be ok, but it really doesn't keep very well, i.e. don't plan to keep leftovers... It has been a big hit every time I have served it at a party.
