Potted shrimp🦐🦐
-Potted shrimp is a classic British dish that consists of small, tender shrimp that are flavored with a spiced butter mixture and then preserved in small pots. It's a simple and elegant appetizer or snack often served with crusty bread or toast
Ingredients:
6 crumpets, toasted
POTTED SHRIMP:
150g salted butter
1⁄2 tsp ground mace
1⁄2 tsp cayenne pepper
a good grating nutmeg
a pinch white pepper
1 lemon, juiced to make 1 tbsp, plus extra wedges for squeezing over
finely chopped to make 1 tbsp dill
200g brown shrimp
Directions:
-Melt the butter in a pan and then stir in the mace and cayenne – it will instantly turn a beautiful burnt auburn colour.
-Grate in a little nutmeg, season with white pepper and lemon juice, then toss in the shrimps and dill, and warm them through. Spoon onto toasted crumpets and serve with extra lemon wedges for squeezing over.
