Ingredients
12 large eggs
1 tsp salt (optional, for boiling)
1 tsp vinegar (optional, for boiling)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp Cajun seasoning (plus extra for garnish)
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt & pepper, to taste
12 small cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined)
Chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
Boil the Eggs:
Place eggs in a pot, cover with water, and add optional salt and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool and make peeling easier.
Prepare the Filling:
Peel eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and mash in a bowl with mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Fill the Eggs:
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture evenly into the egg white halves for a neat, attractive presentation.
Top with Shrimp:
Place one small cooked shrimp on top of each deviled egg for a flavorful seafood twist.
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle extra Cajun seasoning and chopped green onions over the top for added flavor and color. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
For even more Cajun flavor, toss shrimp with extra Cajun seasoning before topping.
Make up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate until serving.
Use a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped for a cleaner fill.
