Keto Cajun Shrimp Deviled Eggs

Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 20

Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (choose a low-carb, keto-friendly brand)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated erythritol (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
  • 20 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Hard Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 12 minutes. Drain and run under cold water until cool enough to handle.
  2. Prepare the Eggs: Peel the eggs and halve them lengthwise. Remove the yolks to a mixing bowl and mash with a fork.
  3. Make the Filling: Mix the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and erythritol (if using) until smooth. Chill until ready to use.
  4. Prepare the Shrimp: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. Pat the shrimp dry and toss with the spice mixture.
  5. Cook the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes per side until slightly blackened. Transfer to a plate to cool completely.
  6. Assemble the Deviled Eggs: Pipe or spoon the chilled filling into the egg white halves. Top each one with a shrimp, a jalapeño slice, and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
  7. Serve: Arrange deviled eggs on a platter and serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.

Notes

  • Peeling Eggs: For easy peeling, add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the egg cooking water.
  • Resting Time: Let the filling rest for 30 minutes before piping into the whites to allow flavors to meld.
  • Extra Shrimp: Cook a few extra shrimp to taste for seasoning before topping the eggs.
  • Presentation: Arrange shrimp laying on their sides rather than standing up for better presentation.
  • Make Ahead: You can make the eggs and filling up to 2 days ahead, but cook shrimp and assemble right before serving.
