My DH loved these. I omitted the dill since I had none and used a small shrimp on top of the egg. Made for Everyday is a Holiday Tag

I would never have thought to put shrimp in deviled eggs before, but it was SO good. It's a great way to spruce up the classic deviled egg!

I am a sucker for trying new types of devilled egg. I had never had them with shrimp so I thought I would give these a try and I am glad I did because they were very tasty. I used fat free mayo and that worked out just fine. Made for the Family Picks portion of ZWT for the Chow Hounds.

I used Hellman's Mayo w/Olive Oil. Then topped each one with a tiny dollop of inexpensive caviar to make them extra special. Use caviar of your choice. I skipped the dill.
