Hollywood Cocktails and Canapes Party 2 – Gracie Fields’ Potted Shrimp

Loved the way Nathalie plated these up – on a big plate!  We’d thought about doing them in little shot glasses but there were a lot of guests and not a lot of shot glasses.  I’m going to start haunting all the charity shops in the new year…

My favourite comment of the night was when I was telling Julie what was in the potted shrimp and I said that Mace was the spice.  She shrieked “MACE?! What you spray in peoples’ faces?!”

Someone with beautiful writing wrote the following on the comments card, “Potted shrimp with extra butter is the one!”  Another guest gave them two thumbs up and yet another 10/10.  We’ll have to get them to put names to comments next time.  I’d like to get calligraphy lessons from the “extra butter” person.  Mind you, Gracie’s writing is nice too…
