Bruce’s Shrimp Salad

I’ve been asked by several people if I had any leftovers or a lot of leftovers from my Mardi Gras party. I had one King Cake leftover when I took the leftover pieces from three King Cakes and put them together. When I brought the King Cake into work, it disappeared. I had about an eighth of a tray left of the Costco shrimp platter, and I had another Costco shrimp platter that was never taken from the fridge. Since the boiled eggs never became the deviled eggs, I had 24 boiled eggs left over. The boiled eggs are my biggest worry since they can’t be frozen.

Bruce decided to make a shrimp salad using the leftover shrimp and some of the eggs for lunch today.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

• 4 hard boiled eggs

• Dash of Worcestershire sauce
• Black pepper to taste

Bread or rolls if making sandwiches

2. Cut up the shrimp into half inch pieces
3. Cut up the pickle spears into quarter inch pieces
