The open-face shrimp sandwich from Ikea’s cafeteria and my fondness of deviled eggs were the sources of inspiration for my recipe for shrimp and egg salad.

My egg salad from now on will contain Dijon mustard. I was a bit hesitant adding shrimp to egg salad, not sure why as my tuna salad is more or less egg salad with tuna. Gotta sat I’ll keep this recipe as a favorite. I used frozen shrimp thawed under warm water and used less than a lb of of shrimp not sure how much was in the bag but I had already used about 2 dozen shrimp out of the 1 lb bag.
Followed the recipe to the letter. Had to add another tps of mustard and another tbs of mayonnaise. Turned out well. It took considerably longer than 15 minutes. 12 minutes to cook the eggs and another 14 minutes to cool. Another 5 minutes to chop and mix the eggs and shrimp. I will make it again. Recommend refrigerating for about 4 hours before serving.
Oh my gosh! This tastes soooo GOOD! Thank you! I added celery and salt and pepper and it tasted like perfection. Pretty healthy too.
I loved this salad! The shrimp and egg work well together. I did follow Naples’ suggestions and added chopped celery, green onions, thawed frozen peas and salt and pepper. Nice light lunch over lettuce. Thanks for this excellent recipe that will be great in the warmer weather especially!
needed something to give it some crunch. a bit of diced celery did the trick.
I gave this a 4 only because I felt like it needed more seasoning because it was a bit bland. I made it exactly as the recipe was written to start off with to be able to given an honest review. Refrigerated it a few hours for the flavors to blend together. I added more dill and some salt and pepper which made a difference. I then added celery for a little crunch. It was perfect. I then made the mistake of adding bacon as another reviewer did and it changed it up to much. You loose that awesome dill flavor by doing this. I will make this again with extra dill and some celery but no bacon.
This was delicious! I love shrimp and eggs together, a great combo!
It was very good, but could’ve used some more flavor.
I was going to make the shrimp recipe when I realized their is peas in it.(picture). Am I righty. Giving it 1 star other wise comment would not be accepted
His recipe turned out great. It is a definite keeper. I did tweak my a bit with a few of my favorite ingredients. I added chopped celery, garlic powder, fresh parsley and cilantro, a little crushed red pepper flakes and served it on a bed of iceberg lettuce with fresh tomato wedges. My husband loved it.
I enjoyed it but nothing special.
Love this. Great low carb meal. Lightly seasoned the shrimp with Old Bay, added some chopped white onion and fresh cilantro. I think the cilantro really gave it that “fresh salad” taste! Will definitely make this again.
I added 1/2 cup of finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped green onion, 1/2 cup finely chopped celery, one table spoon of sweet pickle relish. 2 roma tomatoes quartered. It disappeared in short order. will make it again.
This was a wonderful recipe for leftover marinated shrimp from allrecipes. I did not have a pound of shrimp leftover so only added 2 eggs but did add the suggested celery, green onion, and peas suggested by another reviewer. It was so good I doubt there will be enough leftover for lunch tomorrow!
Great way to use left over shrimp. I added celery, onion and cayenne pepper, though, to give it a little kick.
I used canned shrimp. This is soooooo good!
i liked it but I also addded to give it more zip. I added green pepper , peas ,grainy mustard,abit of horseradish,bacon, and tabassco. I think it was a very good starter recipe and you can add whatever you like. I served this in half of avacado. very good
I made this for myself this morning, planning ahead for lunch. I prepared it as the recipe directed, gave it a taste for seasoning (salt and pepper), was satisfied, so I thought, with the 3-star rating I planned on giving it and put it in the fridge. And then I took it back out of the fridge, not completely happy with it. While it certainly was ok and acceptable, it lacked contrasts in color and textures and the flavor fell somewhat flat. It lacked interest. It was sort of boring. So I went to work on it to take care of all my criticisms – I added sliced celery, chopped green onion, and thawed, frozen peas. Added a little more mayonnaise to compensate for the additions. Gave it a taste and it was much improved. I put it back in the fridge and as I did so I noticed the bacon I had in there…. I pulled it back out, nuked some bacon till crisp and folded it into the shrimp salad. These additions definitely elevated this to 5 stars and was SO good it never made it till lunchtime.
egg salad+shrimp. great if you like both of those things…
this receipe is good, not great. i think adding some red onion and celerey along with more mustard would make it better. I don’t think it is worth it to make this since it does not taste much better than regular egg salad without the shrimp.
Great reciepe!!! I did not have dill, so I added a little cilantro. Very yummey!! So much so, to me, it is worth buying shrimp just for this purpose. I had used left over large shrimp, just made yesterday for peel and eat.
