What Are Shrimp Deviled Eggs?

The filling in these buffalo deviled eggs has all the classic deviled egg elements, like mayo and paprika but I added tangy Greek yogurt, blue cheese, and finely chopped celery. A few sauceless shrimp get chopped up and added to the egg mixture as well.

This will add more shrimp flavor to the egg yolk as well as beef up the texture in these shrimp filled deviled eggs.

The creamy blue cheese infused egg filling and the spicy, tender shrimp make for an exciting deviled egg that everyone is sure to enjoy!

How to Make Buffalo Shrimp Deviled Eggs

1. Place your eggs into a large saucepan and cover with at least 1 inch of water.
2. Bring the water to a boil and cover.
3. Remove from heat.
4. Let the eggs stand for about 12 minutes.
5. Drain the eggs and rinse with cold water.
6. Gently tap the eggs onto the counter and carefully peel the eggs.
7. When the eggs have cooled, carefully slice each one in half vertically.
8. Scoop out the yolks and place them into a bowl, gently mash with a fork and set aside.
9. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
10. Add in the shrimp and cook until the shrimp have just turned pink. This should take about 2 minutes.
11. Remove 6-8 shrimp (about 1/4 cup chopped)
12. And toss the remaining shrimp into some melted butter and wing sauce, set aside.
13. Finely chop your reserved sauceless shrimp. Add that chopped shrimp to the egg yolks with Greek yogurt, mayo, celery, paprika, blue cheese, and salt.
14. Stir until the mixture is creamy.
15. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter and spoon a generous tablespoon of the yolk mixture into each egg hole.

Recipe Tips

• Hard-boiled eggs are easiest to peel right after cooling. Cooling causes the egg to contract slightly in the shell.
• Very fresh eggs can be difficult to peel. To ensure easily peeled eggs, buy and refrigerate them a week to 10 days in advance of cooking. This brief “breather” allows the eggs time to take in air, which helps separate the membranes from the shell.
• The harmless but unsightly greenish ring that sometimes forms around hard-boiled yolks results from a reaction between sulfur in the egg white and iron in the yolk. It occurs when eggs have been cooked for too long or at too high a temperature. Cooking eggs in hot, not boiling, water, then cooling immediately minimizes changes of green rings.
• Don’t overcook your eggs – the whites should still have a little wiggle left in them.

To peel hard-cooked eggs, gently tap egg on countertop until shell is finely crackled all over. Roll egg between hands.

FAQs

How Do I Prevent my Deviled Eggs From Sweating?

To help keep your eggs from sweating in the fridge, line the container that they are in with some paper towels. This will help to draw and absorb the excess moisture so that the eggs won’t become soggy and wet.
