I made this once with lobster and used linguini instead of toast. It was very good.

Ingredients

• 3 TBS butter or margarine
• 3 TBS flour
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 cayenne pepper
• 1/8 tsp mace or nutmeg
• 1 pint light cream
• 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
• 1 lb. shrimp, boiled, shelled and deveined (can use lobster too)
• 2 TBS dry sherry
• 4 slices hot buttered toast,halved diagnolly

Directions

Melt butter in the top of a double boiler directly over moderate heat, blend in flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg, add cream and heat, stirring constantly, until tickened and smooth. Blend a little hot sauce into the yolks, return to pan, and set over simmering water. Add shrimp and heat, stirring occasionally, 3-5 minutes until a good serving temperature. Stir in sherry and serve over toast. Makes 4 servings.
