De bereidingswijze
Stap voor stap
- 1
Lightly grease the inside of a 1.5-quart (6-cup) mold or bowl with the neutral oil and set it aside.
Ongeveer 2 min
Tip van de kok: Using a flexible silicone mold can make unmolding easier.
- 2
Pour the cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
Ongeveer 5 min
Tip van de kok: Don't stir the gelatin right away; letting it absorb the water first prevents clumps.
- 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the undiluted tomato soup.
Ongeveer 2 min
- 4
Add the softened cream cheese to the saucepan in chunks and stir continuously until it has completely melted into the soup and the mixture is smooth.
Ongeveer 5 min
Tip van de kok: Using a whisk helps break down the cream cheese and create a smoother base.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until it is fully dissolved.
Ongeveer 1 min
- 6
Set the mixture aside to cool for about 10-15 minutes, until it's lukewarm but not yet setting.
Ongeveer 10 min
Tip van de kok: Cooling the base prevents the mayonnaise from separating when you mix it in.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, onion, celery, green bell pepper, and mayonnaise.
Ongeveer 3 min

Pour the lukewarm tomato soup mixture into the bowl with the shrimp and vegetables.

Ongeveer 1 min
- 11
Cover the mold and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight, until completely firm.
Ongeveer 8 uur
Tip van de kok: Chilling overnight ensures the mold is fully set and will hold its shape.
- 12
To serve, run a thin knife around the edge of the mold and carefully invert it onto a serving platter.
Ongeveer 2 min
Tip van de kok: If it doesn't release easily, you can briefly dip the bottom of the mold in warm water for a few seconds.
