INSTRUCTIONS
A summer dinner party dish that comes from the Southwold area. Thaw the shrimps if frozen and reserve a few for garnish. Place the lettuce and melted butter in a saucepan, and turn the lettuce with a wooden spoon until it is completely coated with the butter, then cover and simmer very gently for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cream and the onion juice or chopped onion and season to taste. Stir in the shrimps and heat through for 2 to 3 minutes, but do not allow to boil. Set aside and keep warm. Cut the bread into neat triangles and fry lightly in butter. Keep warm. Pile the shrimp mixture on to a dish and arrange the bread triangles around the edge. Serve, garnished with the reserved shrimps. Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V4 #275 by ray.watson@ukonline.co.uk on Mon, 7 Oct 1996.
A Message from our Provider:
“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
