Comment:
This terrine makes an excellent hors d’oeuvre during the holiday season.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups boiled shrimp, chopped
  • 2 cups claw crabmeat
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp diced garlic
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup diced red bell peppers
  • ¼ cup diced yellow bell peppers
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ ounce sherry
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Louisiana hot sauce to taste
  • salt to taste
  • 2 packages unflavored gelatin dissolved in ¼ cup warm water
  • 2 tbsps cracked black pepper

  • Method:
    Pick through crabmeat to remove any shells. In a 2-quart mixing bowl, blend all ingredients. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary, and pour mixture into an oiled terrine mold. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove from mold and garnish with French bread or garlic croutons. To enhance presentation of terrine, you may wish to color 2 cups of mayonnaise—1 with red food coloring and 1 with green. Using a pastry bag with a star tip, pipe colored mayonnaise around base of terrine. Garnish top of terrine with a small amount of colored mayonnaise and a fresh tomato rose.
