6 steps · 80 minutes
- Mace rather than nutmeg is what makes this taste like the real thing. They come from the same fruit and they are not interchangeable here.
- Melt the butter gently and skim the white solids off the top, which is what lets it set clear and keep.
- Warm the shrimp through in the spiced butter for two minutes only. They are already cooked and boiling them turns them to rubber.
- Pack them into small pots and press them down so the butter comes up over the top and seals them.
- An hour in the fridge to set firm.
- Take them out twenty minutes before eating. Straight from the fridge the butter is a solid block and tastes of nothing.
