Shrimps, Potted Whole

Put a pint of freshly-boiled and shelled shrimps into a dish, and sprinkle over them half a tea-spoonful of salt, a tea-spoonful of white pepper, and a pinch of grated nutmeg. Put an ounce of butter in little pieces here and there upon them, and place the dish in a moderate oven till the butter is melted. Let the shrimps get cold. Press them into jars, and pour upon them butter which has been melted, and is just beginning to set. Keep the jars in a cool place till wanted. Time to bake the shrimps, ten minutes.
