This is from an old country cookbook. Great on Christmas buffet. I buy the already pre-cooked shrimp, and skip the first step.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine

1 cup whipped cream
2 1/4 cups cooked rice
1/8 teaspoon ground mace
1/8 teaspoon pepper

1. In a Dutch oven, bring water and 1 tbsp salt to boil, add shrimp and cook for 3 minutes or until pink, drain.
2. Sprinkle shrimp with oil and lemon juice and set aside.
3. In a skillet, saute green pepper and onion in butter for 5 minutes or until tender.
4. Add soup, cream, rice, mace, pepper, cayenne, 1/4 cup of almonds and remaining salt.
