Bang Bang Grilled Shrimp Salad

Hi! I'm back! Hope you've all had a wonderful Labor Day. Mine was chock full of a relaxing trip to the beach with family, vegging out, a little house keeping and eating of course!

I made this shrimp salad one night when Chris was out so I was just making dinner for one person, me!  I didn't want a big meal since I had pretty much been gorging myself all week (oops!). I also didn't want to spend too much time making dinner because I was just tired. 

There's this shrimp that Chris & I love to eat at Bonefish Grill called bang bang shrimp. I like to this of this grilled version as a little bit lighter but still packed with flavor. Plus I ate it with mixed greens - so that's automatically better, right?

Wasabi Deviled Eggs

We all have our strengths, evidently making hard boiled eggs is not one of mine. Lucky for me it is one of Chris's. I was pretty excited to try my hand at making making my own after reading this article about the science of the perfect hard-boiled egg. Chris has forever boiled the eggs in our house. I actually told him I wanted to try it all by myself - you know like a big girl. Well this big girl failed with big flying colors.  My whites were mushy & my yolks… let's just say it would be a generous culinary statement to call them soft-boiled. How could I have failed so miserably? I claimed defeat & whined about it a bit. Chris grabbed more eggs (the organic ones I insisted on) at the store & showed me how it was done. In about 20 minutes we had perfectly hard-boiled eggs that I was able to make into my well anticipated (by me only) wasabi deviled eggs for our mini Memorial Day BBQ at our apartment this weekend.

How do you hard boil your eggs? Any tricks?
