Very nice - although I added some creamed horseradish and a few drops of tabasco instead of the mustard. Used more dill and also added some chopped capers with the shrimp. I don't have enough ramekins, and wanted something a little smaller anyway, so used my 12 hole bun tin. Placed a sprig of dill and a shrimp on each to serve (or faux caviar would be nice) and served with Melba toast and some dressed salad leaves.

I live in a beautiful village on the island of Malta ( Europe) with my wonderful daughter, partner and two cats. I love the vineyards infront of my house or walking down to the valley of olive trees.
( I do pick olives every year)
Some years ago I stopped working as a chef but still do a lot of home cooking. What I miss are the expensive ingredients I worked with, its rather hard cooking on a tight budget. My aim is to produce recipes that are very economical and yet nutritious.
