Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked shrimp, chopped
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Celery, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Green onion, finely sliced
- 2 packages Unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 can Tomato soup
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the can of tomato soup and softened cream cheese. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. Remove from heat.
Add the dissolved gelatin mixture to the saucepan and mix well.
Stir in the mayonnaise, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Fold in the chopped shrimp, celery, and green onion. Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Lightly grease a decorative mold or bundt pan with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
Pour the mixture into the prepared mold, spreading it evenly and smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until the shrimp mold is fully set.
When ready to serve, remove the mold from the refrigerator. Run a thin knife around the edges to loosen the shrimp mold. Place a serving platter over the mold, then invert it carefully to release the shrimp mold onto the platter.
Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon slices if desired, and serve chilled with crackers or bread.
