Number Of Ingredients 7

6 oz. dry Vermicelli, cooked
6 Green Onions, thinly chopped
4 tsp. Pickapeppa Sauce
1 lb. Cooked Bay Shrimp
3 Hard Cooked Eggs, chopped (optional)
1 C. Light Mayonnaise
Salt and Pepper to taste

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
