- 4 ounce can of tiny shrimp, drained
- 2 boiled eggs, chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickles
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onions
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tiny shrimp, chopped boiled eggs, finely chopped pickles, chopped red onions, and mayonnaise.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small amount and adjust as needed.
Chill the spread in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chilled on crackers, slices of fresh bread, or toasted points for a delightful snack or appetizer.
- 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.
