“Deviling” an egg usually refers to seasoning the cooked yolk with mustard or anything else that is spicy but not necessarily hot. Then you add your favored flavorings.

If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the deviled egg with shrimp. In this preparation, a fairly basic combo is jazzed up with chopped shrimp and olives; I like green, sometimes even pimiento-stuffed, for this.

Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 2 minutes. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon. Let cool a bit, then chop.
Step 2
Add eggs to pot, adding water, if necessary, to cover. Bring water just to a boil, then shut off heat. Cover pot and let eggs rest for 9 minutes, 10 minutes if eggs are large. Plunge eggs into a bowl of ice water. When cool enough to handle, peel.
Step 3
Halve eggs lengthwise and remove yolks. Mash yolks of 3 eggs in a medium bowl. Add chopped shrimp and remaining ingredients and mix well.
Step 4
Mound this mixture into egg whites. Crumble remaining yolk on top and garnish with parsley. Serve, or cover with plastic and refrigerate for up to a day; bring back to room temperature before serving.

I left an earlier review that these were bland. I was wrong. I mistakenly served them immediately instead of letting the flavors blend. Make these at least a couple hours in advance. Really good, I will definitely make again.

This is a delicious deviled egg recipe which I will make again for Easter. The shrimp, olives, onions and Worcestershire Sauce bring a surprising texture and flavor to a deviled egg. Use any olives you have on hand. I'm not sure you can go wrong. I had a jar of pitted Kalamata. Easy!

Also closely followed the recipe for hard boiling the eggs, first bringing them out of the fridge for 20 mins. to warm up a little. They came out perfect. I won't hard boil an egg any other way again.

Try white Worchester sauce.

I will be taking these eggs to a St. Paddie's party in a few hours. I will let you know how it goes 😉 I tripled the recipe to 12 eggs. There is a lot of filling left and I am looking forward to an egg salad sandwich on toasted sourdough tomorrow. I added a few dashes of Tobasco which I think really helps.

I didn’t have white Worcestershire so I used rice wine vinegar and it was delicious!

Would it be good to make these a day ahead? Would help with my time management if I could do that. Thanks!
