Recipe Introduction


Morecambe Bay Shrimps - small and brown - are considered to be among
the finest in the country and have been popular since the 18th century


List of Ingredients




1lb shelled shrimps or prawns
6oz butter
1 to 2 teaspoons anchovy essence
0.5 teaspoon mace
pinch of cayenne pepper
salt

Recipe



Set oven to 325°F or Mark 3. Cut the shrimps or prawns in half. In a
saucepan melt 4 oz of the butter with the anchovy essence, spices and
salt. Put the shrimps or prawns in an oven-proof dish, pour the butter
mixture over, cover and cook in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the
shrimps or prawns well, reserving the butter mixture and pack into small
jars or moulds. Strain the reserved butter mixture and pour over the
shrimps or prawns, dividing it evenly. Leave to set. Melt the remaining
2 oz of butter and pour onto the jars or moulds to seal the mixture.
Place in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Serve with brown
bread or fingers of toast. Serves 4 to 6.
