In separate bowl, melt remaining 1/2 cup of margarine or butter and set aside.
In medium size pot, heat 2 tbl water and 2 tbl of lemon juice just until warm. Add egg yolks and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and pour heated margarine or butter in a steady stream into eggs—beating all the while. Toss in shrimp mixture. Place in casserole dish and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. If egg mixture becomes too thick, add 1/4 – 1/2 cup of half & half after you have thoroughly mixed eggs and margarine or butter—adds to the richness.
