Dreamy Creamy Deviled Eggs
12 eggs
heavy mayo
canned baby shrimp, green or black olive slices for garnishpaprika
sea salt
pepper
Place eggs in a large saucepan and add cold water until covered by 1". You can add salt to the water if you like.As the water starts to heat up, stir the eggs ... this will help the yolk harden in the center of the egg.Let eggs boil for 10 minutes.Take off the heat and drain ... place eggs in ice water to cool, replacing ice as it melts.Shell eggs and cut in half. Scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. Place egg white "face" down on an absorbent paper towel.Using a fork, break up all yolks. Add heavy mayo until creamy. Add salt & pepper to taste. Using a whirr mixer (single bladed hand mixer), blend until all the lumps are gone.I use a pastry shooter to fill
the egg whites with the deviled mixture.Top with baby shrimp, green or black olive rings. Whatever garnish looks good to you --or-- sprinkle with paprika.
