CUMBERLAND ISLAND SHRIMP 
5 lb. shrimp
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
5-10 whole cloves
3 c. cooked rice
2 ribs celery, finely chopped
1 onion, grated (save juice from grating)
1 green pepper, finely chopped
1 c. mayonnaise
Curry powder, to taste
Lettuce, tomatoes, sliced cucumbers for garnish

Cook shrimp very quickly (for only a few minutes) in water to cover, in a large kettle, with garlic powder and cloves. Drain, peel and chop or break into small pieces. Reserve a few whole shrimp to use for garnish, if desired.

Combine chopped shrimp, rice, celery, onion and onion juices, green pepper, mayonnaise and curry powder in a bowl. Toss lightly. This may be served as is, or may be placed in a lightly oiled fish mold and then turned out on a platter.

This is attractive when garnished simply with lettuce, tomatoes, sliced cucumbers and a few reserved whole shrimp. Serves 8-10 people.
