Shrimp Salad

Shell a quart of freshly-boiled shrimps, and pile them in the centre of a dish. Boil three eggs hard, and mince the whites and yolks separately. Sprinkle the whites round the shrimps, place a single row of green capers next, and then the chopped yolks. Surround the whole with lettuces cut into quarters and with water-cress, and garnish the dish with gherkins and boiled beetroot, or little pieces of pickled red cabbage. Send salad sauce to table in a boat.
