Directions
- Boil & Cool the Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan with water to cover. Add salt and vinegar if desired. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5–10 minutes to cool completely—this ensures easy peeling.
- Prepare the Filling: Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Pipe or Spoon the Filling: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. Make generous mounds or elegant swirls for a beautiful presentation.
- Top with Shrimp: Place a small cooked shrimp on top of each deviled egg. This adds a touch of seafood sophistication and makes each bite extra special.
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with additional Cajun seasoning and chopped green onions. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to enjoy—perfect for entertaining or a flavorful snack.
