Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 8 mini rolls

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
1 pound large shell-on shrimp, deveined
6 large eggs
2 ounces slab bacon or 2 strips thick-cut bacon, finely diced
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot sauce
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
Freshly ground pepper
4 butter lettuce leaves, halved
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into 8 slices
4 top-loading hot-dog buns, halved crosswise
2 scallions, finely sliced

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with 2 quarts water, add 2 teaspoons salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat; add the shrimp, and let sit (off the heat) until the shrimp is pink-orange and slightly firm, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander with a slotted spoon and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle.
  • Return the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer over low heat. Gently lower the eggs into the water with a large ladle, two at a time, and let simmer exactly 14 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, peel and chop the shrimp and put them in a large bowl. Saute the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until firm and just turning golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • When the eggs are done, transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle, about 2 minutes. Peel the eggs and halve lengthwise. Separate the whites from the yolks; coarsely chop the whites and add them to the bowl with the shrimp. Press the yolks through a mesh strainer into a separate bowl. Add the mayonnaise, hot sauce, mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the yolks and whisk until the mixture is the consistency of cake batter, about 1 minute.
  • Using a rubber spatula, fold the yolk mixture into the shrimp mixture until the shrimp is evenly coated with the deviled-egg dressing. Season with salt and pepper and toss again. (The shrimp and deviled-egg salad will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for 2 days.)
  • To serve, load 1 piece of lettuce and 1 tomato slice into each of the bun halves; spread about 1/2 cup of the shrimp and deviled-egg salad in each. Garnish with the bacon and scallions.

Tips for Making the Best Deviled Shrimp Salad

- **Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp.** This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly briny smell. - **Cook the shrimp properly.** Overcooked shrimp will be tough and dry. Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. - **Use a good quality mayonnaise.** This is another important ingredient that will affect the flavor of your salad. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil. - **Add some flavorings to your mayonnaise.** This is a great way to customize your salad. You could add some chopped fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a dash of cayenne pepper. - **Chill the salad before serving.** This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the salad more refreshing.
