Molded Shrimp Salad

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine gelatin in water. Let stand for 5 minutes. Bring tomato soup to a boil in a saucepan on medium heat. Stir in gelatin mixture to dissolve. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Beat cream cheese smooth. Gradually beat in soup mixture until smooth. Stir in mayonnaise. Chill until partially set (the consistency of unbeaten egg whites) about 40 minutes.

Step 3

Fold in shrimp, celery, red onion, scallion, and relish. Coat a 6-cup capacity bundt pan with cooking spray. Pour in shrimp salad mixture. Chill for 6 to 8 hours.

Step 4

To unmold, place bundt pan in warm water for 15-20 seconds. Remove from water. Place a plate over the pan. Holding the plate in place, invert the bundt pan, giving it a gentle shake to help shrimp mold release onto the plate.

Step 5

Serve with crackers or bagel chips.

Step 6

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
