Aunty Berry's Fresh Prawn Pate


My aunt used to make this. It is a 70's recipe and was always a luxury as prawns were always so expensive. They are cheaper these days so must try this again.

500g cooked prawn meat
90g cream cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 hardboiled eggs finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
2 teaspoons chilli sauce or drops of tabasco
1 teaspoon grated horesradish
1/2 teaspoon saltpepper to taste

Chop prawns roughly.
Combine cheese and mayonnaise in a bowland beat until smooth.
Add chopped prawns, chili sauce or tabasco, salt and pepper, shallot and chopped white of hardboiled eggs.
Blend or process till smooth.
Stir in egg yolks that have been pressed through a seive.
Put in serving dish, serve with jatz.
