Deviled Eggs with Old Bay Shrimp
Deviled Eggs with Old Bay Shrimp combine classic egg yolk filling with a tangy pickle juice and mayonnaise mixture, topped with shrimp marinated in white wine vinegar. The combination delivers creamy, tangy, and subtly spicy bites enhanced by the distinctive Old Bay seasoning. The shrimp add a slightly acidic and seafood element, making this appetizer layered in flavor and texture, perfect for chilled serving.
Ingredients
- 24 rock shrimp cooked and peeled, or bay shrimp
- 1 cup white wine vinegar
- 12 egg hard-boiled
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
- 1 teaspoon mustard stone ground
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce optional
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika plus extra for garnishing
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Garnish:
- dill chopped
- green onions
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked and peeled shrimp with 1 cup of white wine vinegar and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half and place the yolks in a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Evenly distribute the filling among the egg whites. To make the eggs more festive, place the filling in a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Drain the shrimp, then place them on a paper towel and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Top each deviled egg with a pickled shrimp, then sprinkle with paprika and Old Bay. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh dill. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
Notes
- Use eggs that are a few days old for easier peeling after boiling.
- Cook eggs starting in cold water with a pinch of baking soda; boil for 13-15 minutes for semi-hard yolks.
- Cool eggs immediately in ice water to stop cooking and help peeling.
- Tap or roll eggs on a hard surface for easier peeling.
- If you don't have a piping bag, a plastic bag with a corner cut off works well.
- Make extra eggs to have spare filling or to replace any damaged eggs.
- Match shrimp size to egg size or chop shrimp if eggs are smaller.
- Serve deviled eggs chilled, ideally about an hour before serving, for best flavor balance.
- Season each layer of the filling carefully and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Do not overfill the egg whites; extra filling is excellent on toast or in sandwiches.
