Put the shrimps - already picked from their shells - in pan or bowl, add a spoonful of vinegar and the same of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and cayenne and shake them about until they are moistened all over. Then heap them neatly in a dish. Put a border of minced celery or shred lettuce around and a spoonful of mayonaise dressing on top of the shrimps.

Cost - A cupful of prepared shrimps costs 25 cents, or twice as much as lobster. The ways of preparing lobsters serve equally as well for shrimps but the cost should be counted double - or the 25 cent restaurant dishes be about half the cost of lobster salad.
