Shrimp Mousse

[gh`]

This has always been a hit at gatherings.

 

1 envelope unflaored gelatin

1/3 cup water

1 can (10-3/4 oz.) tomato soup

2 three oz packages soft cream cheese

1 cup mayonaise

1/2 cup diced green onions (I use a little more)

1/2 cup diced celery

1/3 teaspoon basil

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 lb. shrimp (cooked, cleaned, and chopped)

Salt to taste

 

Dissolve the gelatin in water. Bring soup to a boil without diluting and add gelatin; stir until dissolved. Beat in cream cheese till smooth; add mayonnaise and beat till smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients and and pour into a 6 cup gelatin ring mold or a bundt cake pan. Chill till firm, and serve with Wheat Thins, Ritz Crackers, or corn chips.

 

This will serve a dozen or more if they're not too greedy.

**Don't forget the cayenne pepper or you'll be sorry..
