½ teaspoon paprika (plus more for garnish)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill or parsley (optional)
Salt & pepper to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Boil the Eggs

Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pan, remove from heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Cool the eggs in ice water, then peel.

Slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Add the mayo, mustard, lemon juice, paprika, and chopped shrimp. Mash and mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Fill the Egg Whites

Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites. Use a piping bag for a fancier look, or a spoon for a rustic touch.

Top with a small piece of shrimp, a sprinkle of paprika, and fresh herbs if desired. Chill until ready to serve.
