Shrimp and Bacon Deviled Eggs
Instant potato flakes give the filling body. You can prepare this a day ahead; cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Crumble leftover egg yolks over a spinach salad.

After making these I wish I had read the reviews first. I saw absolutely no need for the potato flakes and like "karenfar" I had to add a lot more mayonnaise to get the consistency right. I will make these again but will omit the potato flakes and salt and pepper to taste.
I would definitely omit the salt next time and probably the potato flakes. The flakes made the consistency too stiff and dry, I prefer the filling more creamy. Not bad, but taking out these two things might make them much tastier.
The instant potato flakes really soak up the mayo. I had to use a ton of mayo to make it thin enought to stuff the eggs. Good flavor but don't chop the shrimp too small or you won't know it's there. I added 3 slices of bacon to the filling and crumbled 2 slices over the top of the eggs and it was not too much bacon.
This recipe is quick and easy. It was very tastey and all my guests loved it! I would only eliminate the salt because the bacon takes care of that! I would highly recommend it and give it 5 stars!
A fancy way to serve deviled eggs to guests! The only thing I would change is I would omit the Salt. I felt the bacon had enough salt but followed the recipe and wished I hadn't. I made it a second time and omitted the salt and it was perfect!
