This is probably the simplest terrine to make at home. It has a rich, smooth shrimp and salmon flavor, and the garnish — a mosaic of green spinach surrounding the salmon fillet in the center — is visually dramatic. The recipe calls for small shrimp (26 to 30 per pound), because they tend to be the least expensive, but any shrimp will work well.
