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:

- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the filling into the eggs.
