Bring the water to a rolling boil, then cover the pan, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes. (12 minutes). Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel and coarsely chop the eggs.

Step

Dress and Garnish: Spoon a generous amount of the creamy dressing over each salad, allowing it to cascade over the seafood and greens. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce or a splash of sherry vinegar to the dressing.
If you're feeling adventurous, try grilling the shrimp for a smoky twist.
Make sure to use the freshest ingredients available for the best possible flavor.
The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
