If you’re the type of person who loves American-style deviled eggs, this recipe is probably not for you. The flavors of this amuse-bouche are far more subtle than its American cousin. The yolk mixture can be prepared ahead of time, but the eggs should be stuffed at the last minute so the yolk mixture does not dry out on the surface.

Recipe's Ingredients

3 medium shrimp
1 egg, hard-boiled, chilled
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 sprig chive, finely minced

4 leaves parsley, finely minced
fine salt and freshly ground white pepper, tp taste
extra virgin olive oil, to taste

Recipe preparation steps
1

Peel the shrimp, except for the last segment of shell near the tail. Make a shallow cut down the back of the shrimp and remove the vein. Poach in boiling water for 30 seconds. Chill in cold water. Remove the last shell segment of 2 of the shrimp, leaving the tail shell intact, and set aside in the refrigerator until needed. Completely peel the remaining shrimp and mince.
2

Cut the egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and set the whites aside. Crush the yolk completely with a fork and combine with minced shrimp, mayonnaise, chive, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
3

Fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture and garnish each with a whole cooked shrimp. Place on individual serving plates and drizzle a couple of drops of olive oil olive oil on each.
