How to make tomato with shrimp

• Peel the shrimp.
• Boil the eggs for 10 minutes and shock them under cold water. Peel them and cut them into quarters.
• Wash and halve the tomatoes. Rinse the lettuce and dry it in a salad spinner.
• Make mayonnaise. Mix the mustard with 2 tbsp oil and the lemon juice. Stir until smooth and add the remaining oil in a thin, very gradual stream. Keep stirring well until you reach the desired thickness. Season to taste with pepper and salt.
• Arrange a few lettuce leaves on each plate, with a tomato on top. Add the boiled eggs and generously sprinkle with peeled shrimp.
• Serve with the homemade mayonnaise. What. A. Feast!
