Remove the egg yolks and set half of them in a bowl.
Reserve the remaining yolks for some other use.
Set the egg white portions on a serving plate.
Dice the shrimp into small pieces.

​This is a great way to use up small shrimp.  You can just as easily cook medium or large but we like to save those for frying or stuffing.  Like many salad recipes this tastes even better the next day.

1 pound small shrimp
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 16 ounce box bow tie pasta
½ medium onion, diced small
1 cup sweet grape tomatoes, chopped
5-6 chives, diced
¼ cup Catalina salad dressing
¾ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon salt
 

Cook the shrimp in boiling water with the salt and Old Bay
Set aside the cooked shrimp reserving the water
Cook the pasta in the same water then drain
Peel and chop the shrimp
Mix all ingredients
 
Serves 8-10
