Glaze charlotte moulds or any kind of plain individual moulds
with clear tomato aspic; decorate with a branch or a rose of
truffle, or any design desired; glaze again; then line the mould
with the cream. To one cup of cream add three tablespoons
dissolved Cox’s gelatine. Have ready one cup cooked chopped
shrimps; add two tablespoons dissolved Cox’s gelatine, one table¬
spoon sherry, one teaspoon anchovy paste, and a half cup
whipped cream. Put a small teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in
each mould; cover with the rest of the cream that is left; leave
on the ice until cold; when cold, turn out on buttered pieces of
bread the size of the mould. Garnish with shrimps all around.
Serve on a paper doily with parsley in the centre as an appetizer
for luncheon or dinner.
Shrimps in Tomato Aspic a 1’ Aurorian
Crevettes en Aspic de Tomate, a l’Aurore
Make a clear rich color of tomato aspic; put in a ring mould of a
size according to the number of people to be served. If time per¬
mits, this mould can be decorated with daisies from hard-boiled
white of egg and branch of truffles or any design desired. Fill the
mould with the aspic; leave in the icebox until ready to serve;
dip in lukewarm water; turn out on a paper doily. Have ready one
to two pounds shrimps that have been cooked [see recipe: How
to Cook Shrimps]. When cold, remove the skin, leaving some of
the nicest for the decoration; then cut the shrimps in very thin
slices, beginning from the thick part and going toward the tail.
When ready, mix with some aurorian sauce highly flavored with
lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and salt; fill the centre of the ring; put
some more of the aurorian sauce on the top; sprinkle with fine-
chopped parsley. Garnish all around with three angles of well-
buttered toast with a shrimp in between each. Serve on a paper
doily as an appetizer for luncheon or dinner.
