NOT YOUR GRANDMA'S EGG SALAD (CURRIED EGG SALAD WITH SHRIM
** The 35 minute cook time is for the prep of the hard boiled eggs. I came up with this after making TeresaS's wonderful "Curried Stuffed Eggs". I have a hard time not taking recipes to the next step so I came up with this rather special take on egg salad. This is awesome as a salad, as a sandwich on a croissant or as a canapé. I really recommend you make this ahead - the flavor is so much better after it has had a chance to intermingle. *TeresaS's recipe called for Dijon mustard, but it turned out I didn't have any on hand, so I used lemon mustard and it was great, but the Dijon would be great too. The prep time is based on having hard cooked eggs on hand, otherwise plan on 35 additional minutes. ** The second time I made this, I added 2 spears of finally chopped Kroger brand Candied Dill pickles - really added to the flavor.

Steps:
- Mix together the mayonnaise, curry powder, mustard, and cayenne together in a small bowl and set aside.(If you don't have lemony mustard, a squirt or two of lemon juice will add a nice zing).
- In a mixing bowl combine chopped eggs, celery, onions, and shrimp and season with pepper (I don't add salt as I feel the shrimp adds enough salt flavor, but that is a personal thing). Stir in the dressing and mix thoroughly - cover and refrigerate, the taste improves as it has a chance to blend.
- **If you do not have hard cooked eggs on hand, put eggs in pan with cold water, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of white vinegar. Once water comes to boil, cover, turn off heat and let simmer 20 minutes. Cover eggs with ice water for 10 minutes, drain, crack, and peel.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Make sure the shrimp is cooked properly. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or in a lettuce wrap for a light and refreshing meal.
- Add other ingredients to the salad, such as diced celery, red onion, or cucumber, for extra crunch and flavor.
- Experiment with different types of bread or crackers for serving the salad.
