Mayo gets a serious upgrade with curry powder, ground ginger, crushed garlic, and finely chopped hard-boiled egg. A hit of lemon juice and scallions rounds it out with brightness and bite.
Surround it with plump chilled shrimp and watch the bowl empty. Works just as well with a pile of your favorite crackers.
Pro Tips
- Crush the garlic into a paste with the salt using the flat of your knife. It dissolves evenly into the mayo without leaving chunks.
- Make this a few hours ahead if you can. The curry and ginger flavors bloom as it chills.
- Use good-quality mayo here. It’s the backbone of the dip, so you’ll taste the difference.
