Main Ingredients

  • 12 Large Large eggs (about 6 halves)
  • ½ lb Cooked shrimp (225 g) (peeled, deveined)
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise (120 ml)
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp Hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco)
  • 1 tsp Pickle juice (optional)
  • ½ tsp Smoked paprika + extra for garnish

Instructions

  • Boil the eggs for 10 minutes until hard-boiled, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath for rapid cooling.
  • Carefully peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks and place them in a medium mixing bowl, setting the egg white halves aside.
  • In the bowl with the egg yolks, mash them thoroughly with a fork. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, hot sauce, pickle juice (if using), smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, then mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the cooked shrimp for 1-2 minutes until warmed through. Remove from heat and finely chop the shrimp.
  • Gently fold the chopped shrimp and finely chopped fresh chives into the yolk mixture until just combined.
  • Spoon or pipe the shrimp-yolk mixture back into the reserved egg white halves, filling each one evenly.
  • Garnish the filled deviled eggs with an additional sprinkle of smoked paprika.
  • Optionally, add extra garnishes such as microgreens, edible flowers, an avocado slice, or crispy bacon bits before serving.

Notes

For best results, use older eggs as they are easier to peel. Adjust the hot sauce and seasoning to your preference. These deviled eggs are best served chilled.
