Directions
- Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a full boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for exactly 12 minutes.
- Transfer eggs to an ice bath and cool completely, about 5 minutes.
- Peel the eggs carefully, then slice in half lengthwise.
- Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the whites on a serving platter.
- Mash the egg yolks thoroughly with a fork until no large pieces remain.
- Add mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the yolks and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped).
- Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through.
- Transfer cooked shrimp to a small bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of your hot honey, toss to coat, and let sit for 1 minute.
- Remove shrimp from honey mixture, and slice each shrimp in half lengthwise.
- Pipe the yolk mixture into each egg white cavity.
- Place a honey-glazed shrimp half on top of each deviled egg.
- Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of hot honey over the eggs, sprinkle with additional smoked paprika, and garnish with finely chopped chives.
Notes
- For a more elegant presentation, use a pair of kitchen scissors to trim the edges of the shrimp so they curve nicely over the top of each deviled egg.
