The One Ingredient Addition That Gives Egg Salad A Gourmet Touch
BY ELIZABETH OKOSUN
To amp up your egg salad to gourmet status, add shrimp, which breaks up the dish's monotonous feel while bulking it up and adding the right amount of flavor.
Shrimp is slightly meaty, but mild with a delicate sweetness, which brings a balance to all the zesty flavors of a creamy egg salad.
You can quickly sauté peeled and deveined shrimp before all the eggs are done boiling, or you can fold drained canned shrimp directly into the salad to save even more time.
Egg salad already has its own unique flavor, so you don't really need to do much with the shrimp. You can season with salt, pepper, or chili powder for a fiery punch.
