How to Make Hot Honey Shrimp Deviled Eggs

1. Boil the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot and cover with water. Boil for 10 to 12 minutes, then cool in cold water, peel, and slice in half. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.

2. Make the filling. Mash the egg yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

3. Fill the egg whites. Spoon or pipe the creamy yolk mixture evenly into the egg white halves.

4. Season the shrimp. Pat the shrimp dry and season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

5. Cook the shrimp. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until pink, golden, and fully cooked.

6. Make the hot honey. Warm the honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and combined.

7. Assemble the deviled eggs. Top each deviled egg with a cooked shrimp and drizzle with the warm hot honey sauce.

8. Garnish and serve. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Hot Honey Shrimp Deviled Eggs

• Cool the eggs completely before peeling. This makes them much easier to peel cleanly without tearing the whites.
• Use small to medium shrimp so they sit nicely on top of each deviled egg half without overwhelming it.
• Warm the honey sauce gently. Low heat keeps it from scorching while still making it easy to drizzle.
• Assemble just before serving. This keeps the shrimp fresh and the presentation looking its best.
