Recipe - Shrimp And Crab Mousse

1 Envelope unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup Cold water
10 ounce Tomatoes, pureed
8 ounce Cream cheese
1 cup Mayonnaise
Three fourths cup Celery, finely chopped
One half teaspoon Lemon juice
1 One half cup Crab and shrimp, cooked and
chopped
1 ds Salt
1 ds Tabasco sauce

Soften the gelatin in the cold water. Bring tomatoes to a boil, reduce
heat, and slowly whisk in gelatin water mixture. Add cream cheese and stir
until melted. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Whisk in
mayonnaise, onion, celery, salt, Tabasco, and lemon juice. Stir to blend
completely. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes, then fold in crab and shrimp.
Transfer mixture to a serving bowl or decorate mold and refrigerate
overnight. A fish mold is ideal for this mousse. For decoration, use olives
for the eyes, fresh parsley or fresh dillweed for eyebrows, cut or sliced up almonds
for scales, and pimiento strips on the tailfin. Serve with cracker,
cocktail toasts, or with slices of dark rye or pumpernickel.
