Packed with Shrimp and chopped hard boiled eggs, this hearty recipe from Erren's Kitchen for Shrimp and Egg Salad makes a healthy and delicious lunch or light dinner. This salad makes a great picnic basket filler for a day out and is equally good at home or to pack for lunch at your desk.

I make a lot of salads during the summer.  Living in a country that rarely has air conditioning, anything I can make without heating up the kitchen is a real plus for me.

When I make this on hot days, I cook the eggs first thing in the morning and chill them in the fridge until I’m ready to use them.

Growing up, my parents used to take us to a restaurant that served a salad before the meal that was very similar to this.  They piled it high with chopped eggs, baby shrimp and Catalina dressing (a red french dressing).  I hated hard-boiled eggs, but I loved that salad.

The restaurant closed down years ago, but my love for that salad still remains.

You can’t buy Catalina dressing in the UK so I created my own recipe, Catalina Style Peppadew Salad Dressing.  My version is Catalina style with my own little twist.

This is a great salad for the whole family.  My son likes to add shredded cheese to his.  It’s really versatile.  You can add whatever salad fixings you want.

I sometimes add cucumber and tomatoes, but the day I shot the photos, I just used mixed bagged salad and a few Peppadew Piquante Peppers.  I like how the sweet heat and the shrimp go together, but it’s really your call – you can build on it any way you want.

    I’m getting ready to make this salad in a few days. Waiting for the peppers, dressing & lettuce to arrive. However, I can’t find the little shrimp that you use in this recipe so I’m going to have to chop up the fresh, large shrimp that I have on hand. Oh, poor me! Ha!
    I am totally excited to make this salad as being in the kitchen all the time isn’t something I want to do these days. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

    I found your recipe (published 7/12/2016) while searching for the shrimp and egg salad my wife and I always enjoyed eating at Good Time Charlie’s restaurant in Kingston, New Jersey. The three ingredients that made it special were the baby shrimp, chopped egg, and Catalina salad dressing.

    This may or may be the same restaurant you mentioned in your description, but since you grew up in New Jersey I thought I would share one of my favorite food-related memories.

    Thanks for posting your recipe!

      Hi Steve, It may have been Good Time Charlie’s! 🙂 Or the Varsity Club? Maybe both – but yes, the baby shrimp, chopped egg, and always Catalina salad dressing! I loved that salad!
