HUEVOS RELLENOS de GAMBAS
(Deviled Eggs with Shrimp)
Submitted by Dee Oden
“Huevos rellenos are a popular tapa in
Spain. Made with the standard yolk and mayonnaise, they contain a twist
– finely-chopped shrimp.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
12 hard-boiled large eggs
4-5 pitted green olives (or you can use
pimento-stuffed)
¾ lb. medium sized shrimp, boiled &
peeled
4-5 Tbsp tomato sauce
Mayonnaise
Salt & Pepper to taste
Spanish sweet paprika for garnish
(optional)
Prior to cooking the shrimp, rinse
thoroughly and put into a small saucepan. Cover with water and boil for
about 5 minutes. Immediately remove from the stove and pour out the
water. Place the shrimp in a bowl of cold water to cool quickly; peel
and refrigerate.
Hard-boil the eggs & let them cool. Peel
and cut the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. Place yolks in
a small mixing bowl and mash with a fork so they are crumbly.
Finely chop the olives & the shrimp and
put into a mixing bowl. Add a few tablespoons of tomato sauce & mix. Add
the mayo & half the crumbled eggs yolks to the mixture gradually, being
careful not to add too much mayo. Add salt/pepper taste.
Spoon the mixture into each egg half &
place on a platter to serve. Carefully dust with the paprika, if
desired.
