Egg Salad with Shrimp

 This dish came about when I cooked some fresh eggs and could not get the shells off them, without tearing the whites apart. My original concept was Deviled Eggs topped with Shrimp.

So I made an egg salad, and added the cooked shrimp to the eggs, and went from there.  I served it alongside some of my home made bread which I toasted and a garlic aoli.  I'll share that recipe soon. 

 I brought this to the 20th anniversary of a group called NPA.  These ladies, and I include myself, have met every Friday for 20 years. It's a loosely knit group, we women come and go.    Some women have come almost every single Friday, some, like myself have come occasionally. And men are not allowed.  We've celebrated marriages, divorces, mourned with each other, been a support group when needed.  

Everything a group should be.
