preparation
1. Chop the cream cheese into smallish cubes. Heat the soup and cream cheese over low heat, stirring until the cream cheese is completely melted, being careful that the soup doesn't stick/burn. When the cheese is all melted, remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
2. Add the shrimp, juice and all, and the celery and green onions. The shrimp liquid is absolutely necessary - it adds a TON of flavor. I've used frozen shrimp and it just doesn't taste anywhere near as good....
3. Stir the gelatin into the warm water until dissolved and add to the tomato soup/veggie mixture.
4. Stir thoroughly and add mayonnaise.
5. Pour into a jello mold (if desired) or into a serving bowl.
6. Chill at least 2 hours or overnight.
7. If using a mold, unmold onto a large plate/platter, surrounding with crackers to dip into the shrimp spread or spread w/a knife, Alternatively, serve from a bowl with crackers.
8. Enjoy!!
Cooks' note:
You'll need at least an hour to refrigerate when done.
