ingredients
- 8 large eggs, hard-cooked*
- 1 (4 ounce) can baby shrimp, drained
- 1⁄4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chopped canned black olives
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- lettuce leaf, if desired
- 1 sprig fresh thyme or 1 sprig chives, for garnish, if desired
directions
- Peel and cut the eggs in half lengthwise; remove the yolks. Set whites aside, carefully keeping them intact.
- Mash yolks in a small bowl with a fork. Add shrimp, yogurt, olives, chives, thyme, dry mustard and black pepper; blend well. Place the egg white halves on a plate lined with leaf lettuce, if desired.
- Mound each egg white half with the shrimp-yolk mixture. Garnish with thyme or chives, if desired.
- *To hard cook eggs: Cover eggs with cold water in a saucepan. Bring water to a boil. Lower heat; simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Plunge eggs into cold water to stop cooking and to keep yolks from discoloring.
- **Tip: If you prefer, use fat-free mayonnaise, or use half fat-free plain yogurt and half mayonnaise.
