Answer 1

Take a lb of cream cheese and squeez the juice of one lemon into it and beat it with your mixer until fluffy.

Take baby bay shrimp and add lemon juice, tiny dice of celery and dill. Put in fridge.

Get a bagette and slice and toast.

Spread the cream cheese mouse on a platter with thin lemon sliced round around the edge. Put the shrimp mixutre in a pretty bowl with crushed ice underneath and add a pretty spoon.

Make one or two and leave them on the plate so guests will know what to do. Spread some of the cream cheese on the bagette and top with the baby shrimp.

Yummy, easy, classy
