Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 100 grams cooked shrimp, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs carefully and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Mash the cooked egg yolks with a fork until they are crumbly.
Add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the finely chopped shrimp, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the filling.
Spoon or pipe the shrimp mixture into the egg white halves, filling each cavity generously.
Sprinkle with additional paprika for garnish, if desired, and top with a pinch of fresh dill for a decorative touch.
Cover and refrigerate the stuffed eggs for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
Serve chilled as a delicious appetizer or snack.
