Hey Amy!

My brother loves deviled eggs.  We have established that, clearly.  When a plate of eggs is presented at any family event, Garnet must restrain himself from eating the entire plate.  Not kidding.  I found this recipe recently and wondered how my brother would do with shrimp inside those eggs?  Somehow I think Garnet would win again, devouring all in one sitting.  As you know, I can’t speak for this recipe as I can for the rest who live on this site but those who have made these, love them.  Make a dozen or two for your guests.  They won’t be disappointed.

Ingredients:

4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
4 Tbsp. mayo
2 oz. peeled shrimp, chopped
salt
cayenne pepper
lemon juice

Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and hollow out the yolks, placing them in a bowl.  Set the egg whites aside. Add the mayo to the bowl and using a fork, smash the yolks and shrimp until combined well.  Add salt, cayenne and lemon juice to suit your taste.  Scoop the shrimp mixture into egg whites to a healthy mound.  Serve on a bed of lettuce leaves or with a few whole shrimp as garnish.  Fight your brother to have some.

This recipe is a great addition to a cocktail party, afternoon tea or a picnic.  Enjoy!
