Louisiana Cajun Shrimp Deviled Eggs
Jessie Thompson
Deviled eggs are one of those things that we seem to reserve for a special occasion or holidays, but the truth is that they are easy enough to make that they should land on our tables way more often than that! But if you are looking to jazz up one of your favorite appetizers, then look no farther. My Louisiana Cajun Shrimp Deviled Eggs recipe is both tasty and impressive!
Prep Time 2 minutes mins
Cook Time 2 minutes mins
Resting time 10 minutes mins
Total Time 14 minutes mins
- 6 large eggs
- 12 small shrimp
- 3 tablespoons of Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon of Tony's Cajun Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
BOILING THE EGGS:
First, in a medium pot, place eggs and fill with cool water. Use enough water to cover the eggs.
Second, place the pot with the eggs and water over medium-high heat and bring to a rolling boil.
Third, let the eggs cook for 2 minutes in the rolling boil.
Next, remove the eggs from the heat, cover with a lid, and set a timer for 10 minutes to allow the eggs to sit in the hot water and finish cooking.
Then, after the 10 minutes of soaking are complete, drain the boiling water in the sink and cover the eggs with cold water, peel eggs, and set aside.
MAKING THE SHRIMP:
First, in a small bowl, season the raw shrimp with Tony's Cajun Seasoning.
Second, place the shrimp into a 400 F. degree air fryer for 5-6 minutes
Third, remove the shrimp from the air fryer, chop into small pieces, and set aside.
MAKING THE FILLING:
First, cut the hard boiled eggs in half and remove the yellow egg yolks into a separate mixing bowl.
Second, place the empty white halves of the eggs in a single layer on your serving platter.
Third, using a fork, mash the yolks to your desired consistency. (I like mine to be smooth and creamy.)
Then, add the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, old Bay seasoning, capers, Worcestershire, Paprika, and garlic powder to the mashed yolks and mix well.
Next, fold the chopped shrimp into the yolk mixture.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:
First, fill the empty egg whites with the creamy shrimp filling by the spoonful. (If you want to make the filling a little more fancy, check out my useful TIP section above!)
Second, sprinkle the deviled eggs with paprika for a beautiful pop of red color.
Finally, sprinkle finely chopped parsley on top of the finished eggs and ENJOY!
Personally, I like to eat my deviled eggs warm or at room temperature immediately after filling, but if you prefer your deviled eggs to be cold, just cover them with plastic wrap and put them in the fridge until time to serve. *
