Shrimp Pie (another way). — Pick three pints of shrimps from the shells. Mix with them two or three anchovies, washed, boned, and shi-ed very fine, some shred parslej-, two chopped shallots, and a handful of verj- small bleached mushrooms. Butter well the bottom of a pie-dish with good fresh butter, and put the shrimps into it, seasoning them with a little black pepper and some cayenne ; if not salt enough add a little, making allowance, however, for the salt of the ancho^^es, for if too salt the pie will be wortliless. Place over the shrimps several lumps of fresh butter, amounting in all to a quarter of a pound, also two hard-boiled eggs, shelled and cut into quarters. Pour into the dish a good glassful of sherry, and also a good glassful of broth, in which has been pre- viously mixed a dessert-spoonful of mushroom ketchup, and a tea-spoonful of soy
