Notes

- For extra tang, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the mayonnaise.
- Ensure the shrimp are thoroughly drained to prevent a watery spread.
- If the spread seems too thick, add a tiny splash of pickle juice or a bit more mayonnaise.
- For food safety, chill the spread immediately after mixing and consume within 2-3 days.
- To achieve an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for the eggs, boil them for 9-12 minutes after the water reaches a rolling boil.
