SHRIMP DISHES
ExceLlENT EITHER FOR LUNCH.

Hostess Will Find These Greatly Ap'
preclated BY Her 0uests--Nov-
elty u TO Have Them Cooked
In Creole style.


Here arc some shrimp dishes that
would prove acceptable for luncheon
and supper:
shrimp salad can be made In good
many ways, and all Of them are good.
The shrimps can be broken in fakes
and mixed with an equal portion OF
hard-boiled eggs that have been put
through a ricer. They then can be
dressed either with mayonnaise or
with French dressing. Just the shrimp
alone can be served on lettuce with
either kind Of dressing.
Another good salad calls for cup
OF shrimps, cut in small pieces; half
q cup Of celery hearts diced small,
and seasoning OF pepper and salt.
These Ingredients should be mixed
with half cupful Of mayonnaise and
placed in q bed of white lettuce leaves.
Garnish this salad with eighths Of
hard-boiled eggs, capers and olives.
Another good combination Is
shrimps and chilled. sliced tomatoes,
served with mayonnaise on lettuce.
For salad, shrimps should be chilled
through and thoroughly dry. Any i'm
perfect ones, of course, should be dis
carded, and the little dark vein that
Is sometimes noticeable in the shrimp
can be removed for salad of the
finest quality.
Croustades Of shrimps and rice are
delicious. The croustades. or shells,
can be made from boiled rice. sea-
soned with salt and pepper. and heat
ed in double boiler with beaten
egg, and. ii necessary for moistening.

be formed into little cases. 1t can

The shrimp filing is made from

and cupful of milk cooked smooth.
the beaten yolks of two eggs and half
a cup Of shrimps pounded to a paste.
Stir over the fire until the eggs thick
en-, and pour in the rice cases. The
same filling can be put in pate shells.
This is the way to cook shrimps in
the creole style: Fry half an onion
and Glove of garlic, chopped, in four
tablespoonful of butter, but do not
brown them. Then add a cup OF
canned or other cooked shrimps, cup
of canned tomatoes, five tablespoon

Dunbar shrimps are made in this
way: Into the blazer Of a chatting dish

two scant teastoonfuls Of sauce and
two cups of cream-the thicker the
better. When it is hot add two hard
boiled eggs. chopped fine, and two
cups OF shrimps. Let the mixture
reach the boiling point and serve at
once.
Shrimps can also be used to gar
nish many vegetable salads. They
give just the right pungency and
character to salads that otherwise
might somewhat lack character and
individuality. Green peppers, for In
