Shrimp or Prawn Salad

Freshly cooked and shelled prawns are offered for sale in the best fish markets; but if they cannot be obtained in this way, drop them alive into boiling water, let them cook for six or seven minutes, and when they are cold, remove the heads and then the shells. Turn them whole over a layer of crisp lettuce, shredded celery or finely shaved cabbage, and cover well with a mayonnaise or other dressing. Canned shrimps are excellent for salads.
