Delicious Shrimp Deviled Eggs Recipe for a Perfect Starter

Ingredients

Servings:
24
  • 6 large eggs (hard-boiled)
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp (chopped)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (preferably homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Eggs

    Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let them sit for 12 minutes.

    Cool the eggs in an ice bath for easy peeling.
  2. Peel and Halve the Eggs

    Once cooled, peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.

    Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shells.
  3. Mix the Filling

    Mash the yolks with a fork. Add chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.

    Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  4. Fill the Egg Whites

    Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the egg white halves with the shrimp yolk mixture.

    For an elegant touch, use a star tip in the piping bag.
  5. Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with additional chopped shrimp or fresh herbs if desired. Serve chilled.

    Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
