Steps:

• 1. Hard cook eggs and chill. Make dressing by mixing all ingredients together and chilling in the fridge so flavors can marry. Prepare salad greens and chill until crisp. I use 1/2 romaine and 1/2 spring mix or spinach. Cut tomatoes in wedges.
• 2. When all salad ingredients are well chilled, assemble salads in 4 shallow bowls or plates. Lettuce, shrimp or crab on top and tomato and egg wedges around sides. Top with dressing and add additional fresh squeezed lemon if desired. Enjoy! This salad serves 4 for a main entree or 8 as side salads.

Divide onto 4 plates and arrange the shrimp and medium-boiled eggs on top before serving. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.
