SHRIMP MOLD

Category: Spreads -- Cold

1 lb cooked small or medium shrimp
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 green onion, finely chopped, white and green parts
2 tsp Dijon mustard
Dash Hot Sauce and black pepper

Place the shrimp in a food processor and pulse about eight to ten times, until they are finely chopped but not mushy. Mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, green onion, mustard and hot sauce in a small glass bowl, until well combined. Stir in the shrimp.

Line a 2-cup mold or glass bowl with plastic wrap, leaving lots of overhang. Place the shrimp mixture into the mold, packing tightly with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap overhang and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.

When ready to serve, unwrap the overhang and invert the mold onto a plate. Remove the plastic wrap. Allow to come to room temperature before serving with water crackers or other favorite snack cracker. Serves 6-8
