Halloween Shrimp Cocktail Brain
Realistic, creepy, AND yummy. Make it the day before your Halloween party so it has time to set. Serve with assorted crackers, baguette slices, cucumber slices, and celery sticks.

Cook's Notes:
This should unmold easily when inverted and smacked down firmly on a flat surface such as a cutting board. If not, try immersing bottom portion of the mold in warm water for a few seconds, then try again. If you want the texture of your brain to be more smooth, like pate, use your food processor instead of a knife when preparing your shrimp mixture. Add the vermicelli AFTER the other ingredients have been pulverized to perfection.
I buy bean thread vermicelli from Asian markets, where they come in a packet of 6 or 8 sections. Use one section of noodles for this recipe.
