I was craving egg salad and remembered this deviled egg recipe. I prepared the filling (but downsized to just a few eggs), and then chopped up the egg whites and combined to form a "salad" to spread between slices of toasted bread. The sandwich was very good. I used small frozen (and defrosted) salad shrimp and dried dill. The garlic salt left it a bit overly salty for my taste, and I might use just plain garlic powder and salt (to control the saltiness without compromising the garlic flavor) in the future.

This simple and different recipe for deviled eggs caught my attention. I made them for a family get-together. I'm sorry to report that only 4 out of the 12 were eaten. To my own taste, the recipe is too bland. I understand the use of shrimp lends delicacy to the dish, however, there was just little appetizing about it. I'm thinking next time I try it I may use regular yellow mustard instead of Dijon. Also, may add fresh chopped parsley and maybe a dried coriander and/or red pepper sprinkled over the top. Thanks for a great base to work from.
