  I've done something very similar to this as a starter for posh dinner parties for a number of years - who cares that it's barely a recipe when it SO delicious! Try it on wholemeal soda bread with a roasted baby beet relish

  I LOVE potted shrimps on toast. A great favourite in the North West. But where to buy them East of the pennines? Does anyone know?

  If Jamie Oliver can put fish finger sandwiches in one of his books then i dont see anything wrong with someone showing us how to turn potted shrimps into a tasty snack. Very tasty.

  sorry, but needing a recipe to show how potted shrimps could be made into a tasty snack by spreading on toast means a serious lack of imagination!! i clicked on this hoping to find out how to actually make potted shrimp. is there a proper recipe on this site somewhere?

  Well, was hoping this was a recipe to show me how to actually make potted shrimps, not just how to spread it on toast!

  I think this is one of the classic versions of potted shrimps, done by clarifying the butter (not all do): http://www.retrofoodrecipes.com/potted_shrimps.html
