Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 4 large eggs use fresh eggs for the best flavor and a smooth texture
  • 1 pinch salt enhances the natural taste of the eggs
For the Filling
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise consider using light mayo for a healthier option
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard gives a tangy kick
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice brightens the flavors
  • 1 teaspoon paprika sprinkle on top for color and smokiness
For the Shrimp
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp diced finely; use seasoned shrimp for better flavor
  • 2 tablespoons chives or green onions finely chopped for a fresh flavor
For Garnish
  • 1 leaf lettuce serve on a bed for presentation

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil the eggs: Place your eggs in a pot, cover them with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and let them sit for 12 minutes before transferring them to an ice bath.
  2. Peel the eggs: After cooling for about 5-10 minutes in the ice bath, gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel under running water for easier removal of the shell.
  3. Prepare the filling: Halve the peeled eggs lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and seasonings. Mix until creamy and well-combined.
  4. Fold in shrimp: Chop cooked shrimp into small pieces and fold them gently into the yolk mixture.
  5. Pipe or spoon filling: Use a piping bag or a spoon to fill each egg white half with your shrimp deviled egg mixture.
  6. Chill before serving: Refrigerate your filled eggs for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together beautifully before serving.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with fresh dill or paprika for an extra pop of flavor and color.
