    Recipe Introduction


    (I originally found this recipe for MardiGras 2000, which was quite yummy. When I got a brain mold for my birthday - can you tell my friends know I love Halloween? - I started thinking of what I could use for making a brain. Since the brain mold is only about 3 cups, I halved this recipe except for the amount of gelatin, left out the green onions, and finely chopped the shrimp into more of a paste for the sake of making it look more smooth-textured like a real brain.)

    List of Ingredients




    Savory Brain Shrimp Spread



    1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
    8 ounces Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
    1 (.25-ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin, softened in 1/4 cup water
    1 bunch green onions, chopped
    3 pounds cooked shrimp, coarsely chopped
    (or 1 pound crab meat)
    1 cup mayonnaise
    1 Tablespoon lemon juice
    Tabasco or Creole seasoning to taste

    Recipe



    Heat soup, undiluted, and mix in the cream cheese. Stir in softened gelatin and blend well. Fold in remaining ingredients and pour into a lightly-oiled mold. Chill until firm and serve with your favorite crackers.
