Huevos Rellenos de Gambas or Deviled Eggs with Shrimp

When it comes to Spanish tapas, the list is endless... I was totally spoilt for choice when I visited my friend's mom at her Delhi residence. There are so many wonderful dishes made out of simple egg. The one I loved is the one I am sharing with all my friends today. This is very easy to prepare, but so delicious that the taste lingers on long after.
