On Christmas Eve my family always gets together to exchange gifts and to eat dinner. We always have ham and other goodies, but they always want me to make my shrimp salad. It is a favorite every year.

Boil the shells until tender. Mix in onion, carrot and shrimp. In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise and Miracle Whip, liquid from 1 can of shrimp, and egg yolks until well-mixed. Add vinegar and sugar to taste. Save leftover dressing to add just before serving; it will absorb into the shells while resting in the refrigerator – I like to moisten it a bit before serving.

Chill until ready to serve. It is better when done a couple hours in advance to let the flavors blend.
