Instructions:

Set aside two pieces of shrimp per unit for garnish, remove the remaining shrimp from the shell.

Cover the shells and the heads with cold water, bring to the boil once and then simmer at low temperature for five minutes. Then pour through a sieve, season the broth lightly with salt and poach the fish in it at low temperature for about ten minutes. Remove the fish and cool.

In the meantime, cream the butter, coarsely chop the shrimp and mash the anchovy fillets to a paste with a fork.

Grind the fish and mix well with the butter. While doing so, season vigorously with the anchovy paste, a tiny bit of white pepper, mace and cayenne pepper, perhaps seasoning with salt. Finally, stir in the chopped shrimp.

Cover and refrigerate for one night.

To turn out, hold the ramekins briefly in hot water, loosen from the edge of the mold with a kitchen knife dipped in hot water, and turn out onto plates.

Serve:

Decorate with dill stalks, lettuce leaves and the shrimps in the dish. Serve with strips of toasted bread. Everyone spreads the shrimp butter on themselves as they wish.
