Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 (16 ounce) can tomato soup
8 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup green onion, minced
1 cup mayonnaise

  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy. Cook them until they are just pink and opaque.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the base of the mold, so it's important to use a good quality product. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil.
  • Add some flavor: The mold can be flavored with a variety of ingredients, such as lemon juice, dill, or Old Bay seasoning. Get creative and experiment with different flavors to find one that you like.
  • Chill the mold before serving: This will help the mold to set and make it easier to slice.
