How to Make Shrimp Mold

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 8 ounces of cream cheese and 10.75 ounces (1 can) of condensed tomato soup. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the cream cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  2. In a separate small bowl, sprinkle 1 packet (1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the warm cream cheese and tomato soup mixture. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly to lukewarm (about 10-15 minutes). Stir in 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1 pound of cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined), and 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions.
  5. Pour the mixture into a decorative mold or shallow dish.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mold is set. Serve chilled with your favorite tortilla chips.
