Cajun Shrimp Deviled Eggs: A Spicy Twist on a Classic Appetizer

1️⃣ Boil & Cool the Eggs

1. Bring the eggs to a boil in a pot with salt and vinegar. The salt and vinegar can help with peeling the eggs later, but they’re optional.
2. Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes. This will ensure they’re fully cooked with a firm yolk.
3. Once the eggs are done, immediately transfer them to an ice bath to cool down. This simple trick makes peeling the eggs much easier!

2️⃣ Make the Filling

1. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently pop out the yolks and place them in a bowl.
2. Mix the yolks with the mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, and paprika. This creates the perfect creamy, flavorful filling with just the right amount of spice!
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Don’t forget to taste test and adjust the seasoning to your liking!

3️⃣ Pipe It Like a Pro

1. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. If you’re looking to make them extra pretty, using a piping bag will create a more professional look and allow you to fill the eggs more neatly.
2. Arrange the filled egg halves on a serving platter for a gorgeous presentation that’s sure to impress your guests.
