For the Rolling Stones instrumental, see Potted Shrimp.
Potted shrimps is a traditional English dish made with brown shrimp flavored with nutmeg and baked in butter. The butter acts as a preservative,[1] and cayenne pepper may also be used.[2] Regarded as a delicacy,[citation needed] it is traditionally eaten with bread.
Potted shrimps was a favourite dish of Ian Fleming, who passed on his predilection to his fictional creation James Bond.[3] Fleming reputedly used to eat the dish at Scott's Restaurant on Mount Street in London.[4]
