¼ lb. good old cheese.
1 tablespoonful salad oil.
½ teaspoonful cayenne pepper.
1 teaspoonful salt.
1 teaspoonful white sugar.
1 teaspoonful made mustard.
4 tablespoonfuls celery or onion vinegar.
Mince the shrimps and grate the cheese. Work into the latter, a little at a time, the various condiments enumerated above, the vinegar last.
