  • twelve cooked shrimp

Directions

1

Pick the meat from twelve cooked shrimp ; dry the shells and pound altogether in a mortar adding one tablespoonful of good butter ; place in a saucepan on a moderate fire, stirring until it clarifies, it will take about five minutes. Strain through a napkin pressing hard, and letting it drop into cold water. When it is hard, take it out and place in a warm howl, stirring till it takes the desired color. Lobster butter is made in the same way.
