I love to put my Tupperware mold to good use and since I am to bring an appetizer to a bbq this evening, I decided to make a shrimp mousse mold. Being in the upper 80's here in North Carolina, something light & cool will fit the bill & this recipe will feed a crowd. There are a number of recipes for shrimp molds but I like the combination of shrimp and tomato so here's a recipe and adapted it to my own taste.
Ingredients:
1
(10.75 ounce)can condensed tomato
Soup
2
(.25 ounce) envelopes unflavored
gelatin
¼
cup cold water
¼
cup white wine
8
ounces low fat cream cheese, softened
1
cup light mayonnaise
1
pound cooked shrimp, shelled &
deveined
1
cup minced celery
½
cup green onions, minced
1
teaspoon horseradish
1/4
teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

3.

soup mixture into the mayonnaise and cream cheese mixture. Mix well. Add
