1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
8 ounces Neufchâtel cheese
1 cup cooked shrimp, coarsely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
- Lightly oil a 1-1/2-quart fish-shaped or other decorative mold. Pour the cold water into a small cup and stir in the gelatin. Set aside. Pick through the crabmeat, rinse, drain, and flake.
- In a large saucepan, heat the soup over low heat. Remove from the heat, add the gelatin mixture, and stir until dissolved.
- Fold in the remaining ingredients except garnishes, and spoon into the mold. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 3 hours, or until set. Unmold onto a platter. Surround with the cucumber slices and cherry tomatoes; garnish the mold in any way you wish. Serve with an assortment of crackers.
