Ingredients
- 3 oz package Lemon Jell-O
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon grated onion
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 8 oz. pimento cheese spread
- 4 oz. can tiny shrimp, well drained
- 1 Tablespoon green pepper, chopped finely
- 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
Instructions
- Dissolve lemon Jell-O in the boiling water. Stir in salt and grated onion.
- Put the lemon Jell-O mixture into the refrigerator until it begins to set, approximately 15 minutes. If you turn the bowl, and the Jell-O moves as one glob, it is ready.
- Meanwhile, in a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until firm.
- Once the Jell-O is set, add whipped cream, mayonnaise and pimento cheese spread. Beat on low until just incorporated. Be sure not to over beat so that you don't break the heavy cream.
- Add the drained tiny shrimp, green pepper and hard boiled eggs; stir until completely mixed.
- Chill until set, approximately 3 to 4 hours.
- Serve with crackers or as a sandwich.
