Shrimp Butter

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups water
• 3/4 pound unpeeled medium-size fresh shrimp
• 1 hard-cooked egg, coarsely chopped
• 1 (3oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup onion, coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

Instructions:

Bring the water to a boil, then add the shrimp, cooking for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well and rinse with cold water. Chill, then peel and de-vein, then coarsely chop the shrimp. Process the shrimp and remaining ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Line a 2-cup mold or bowl with heavy-duty plastic wrap, allowing the wrap to hang over the rim at least 2 inches. Spoon the butter mixture into a mold, then cover and chill at least 4 hours. Invert the mold onto a serving plate. Remove the mold and carefully peel the plastic wrap off the butter mixture. Let stand for 20 to 30 minutes. Smooth the surface with a knife, if necessary. Serve with assorted crackers.
