As a “thank you” to my Hubby for shoveling snow, my mother made Shrimp Mousse – one of Hubby’s favs….
My contribution, once again, is photographing…..
I’ve made shrimp mousse numerous times, does that count…….
The recipe comes from the California Heritage Cookbook by the Pasadena Junior League….oh my goodness, it’s from 1976 – I didn’t realize I’d owned it that long! Here you go, an antique recipe…..
Thank you for visiting, I hope you’ll stop in again soon. Now it’s time to visit Designs by Gollum to enjoy all the yummy treats at the Foodie Friday party.
