SHRIMP STUFFED EGGS
I use the unused yolks crumbled for topping on a salad, or you can mix with mayo, celery seed, salt, and chives, etc., for a sandwich spread, like a tea sandwich. The time I posted is for using already cooked shrimp and already boiled eggs.

EGGS STUFFED WITH HERBED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Peel and cut the eggs in half lengthwise; remove the yolks. Set whites aside, carefully keeping them intact. Mash yolks in a small bowl with a fork. Add shrimp, yogurt, olives, chives, thyme, dry mustard and black pepper; blend well. Place the egg white halves on a plate lined with leaf lettuce, if desired. Mound each egg white half with the shrimp-yolk mixture. Garnish with thyme or chives, if desired. *To hard cook eggs: Cover eggs with cold water in a saucepan. Bring water to a boil. Lower heat; simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Plunge eggs into cold water to stop cooking and to keep yolks from discoloring. **Tip: If you prefer, use fat-free mayonnaise, or use half fat-free plain yogurt and half mayonnaise.

Tips:
- Prep the eggs in advance: Hard-boil the eggs and let them cool completely before peeling and cutting them in half. This will make the assembly process much easier and faster.
- Use a variety of fillings: Don't limit yourself to just shrimp. Try using other seafood like crab, lobster, or smoked salmon. Or, for a vegetarian option, try using roasted vegetables, such as zucchini, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- Get creative with your presentation: Once the eggs are stuffed, you can garnish them with a variety of toppings, such as fresh herbs, grated cheese, or a dollop of sour cream. You can also arrange the eggs on a platter in a decorative way.
- Make them ahead of time: Shrimp stuffed eggs can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This makes them a great option for parties or potlucks.
Conclusion:
Shrimp stuffed eggs are a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give shrimp stuffed eggs a try. You won't be disappointed!
