POTTED SHRIMP BY VINCENT PRICE
This spread comes from "A Treasury of Great Recipes", a cookbook put out by that master of the macabre, Vincent Price, and his wife, Mary, in the mid-1960's. The cookbook is full of great recipes by Mr and Mrs. Price and their friends, famous and otherwise. The original cookbook is a highly prized collectible now, but I believe it was reprinted in 1995. Very rich, it may be something of an aquired taste. I think it is the bomb! (the daughter just darted me a look that meant, "Mom. you're too old to be talking like that!")

Steps:
- Melt butter and add spices. Mix with shrimp, making sure shrimp is covered by butter mixture, adding more melted butter if needed. Place in a small bowl or crock and chill at least 2 hours in the refrigerator. Take out of fridge 20 minutes before serving to allow it to soften a little. Will keep several days or longer - potting is a centuries-old method of food preservation. Spread on water crackers, use in omelets, etc.
- This is the traditional potted shrimp. *The mace is traditional, but can be skipped, if desired. Other spices and herbs (choppped parsley is good)can be added, just be sure all is covered with melted butter.
