Like, with all words french and italian.

Everybody loves eating. I mean, we have to eat food. So why not be good at it?

I make it no secret that I love cooking as much as I love eating. I remember early last year, I had this ‘cook-fever’ and shared a few recipes in my old blog. Ima now do it again.

Mayo Shrimp Paste

*this is not an original recipe I created, it’s just modified according to my experience and taste.*

This goes well with toasted bread and tea! A perfect breakfast or tea-time.

What You need:

1. 400g shrimp. (de-shell-ed and de-veined)
2. Mayonnaise
3. Half a lemon
4. 2 eggs. (hard-boiled)
5. fresh basil. (finely chopped) and if you want an extra kick, fresh parsley(optional)
6. 125g butter
7. Half an onion (finely chopped)

Here we go:

1. Get out a pan (duh) and heat 2 tbsp butter over moderate heat until it melts. You wouldn’t want burnt buttter. Add in your shrimps, and season it with salt and pepper to taste. 2 minutes.
2. Transfer your shrimps to a food precessor/blender. Leave the leftover butter and stuff in the pan. DO NOT CLEAN.
3. Now, add the onions into the pan with another 1 tbsp of butter over LOW heat. Stir about 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Scrape onions into the processor and blend it all up.
5. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature. About 10 minutes.
6. Now, pour your mixture into a bowl and add mayonnaise. It’s up to you how much you like mayo. Add a bit more pepper and throw in the finely chopped basil. Squeeze in lemon juice.
7. Stir.
8. Mash your eggs (lol) and add them to the already stirred mixture. This is important. Eggs go in LAST.
9. Put into fridge to chill.

There, you’re done. Goes extremely well with thick toast with a bit of salad in it.

Personally, I think guys who can cook are awesome. And one of my big inspiration/idol is Jamie Oliver. GUYS! GO LEARN TO COOK! IT’S FUN!
