Name: Shrimp Paste
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 1/2 lb cooked shrimp, defrosted if frozen, roughly chopped; 2 tablespoons mayonnaise; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/4 cup chopped onion

Use this as a spread on crackers, a sandwich filling or one of the layers in a sandwich loaf.  I found this in an old Culinary Arts Institute (1956) cook booklet that I bought at a flea market.  I've updated it a bit, to include the use of a food processor.

A really quick to make and yummy alternative to the commercially-made spreads, and a recipe I’m glad to have found because I’m becoming increasingly wary of – and reluctant to use – commercially processed foods.  I made this with fresh prawns, 1 tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of Greek yoghurt, and I added 2 cloves of garlic and about a tablespoon of fresh basil.  Thanks for sharing a great recipe which I’ll be making again!  Next time, I’m going to try this recipe with canned salmon.
