Instructions: With the metal blade in place, add the tuna, butter, lemon juice, Tabasco, salt and pepper to the beaker. Process until the mixture is smooth. Add shrimp, pimientos and capers. Process, turning on and off rapidly, until ingredients are evenly chopped and combined. Taste and adjust seasoning; it must be highly seasoned. Pack the pate into a well-oiled 3-cup loaf pan or mold and chill for 24 hours. Unmold onto a serving plate. Garnish with parsley and serve with toast rounds.

Makes 3 cups.

Variations: The pate can be made with crabmeat instead of shrimp or a combination of shrimp and crabmeat. It can also be flavored with fresh, finely minced dill or tarragon and a large pinch of curry.
