The first time I ate deviled eggs was about nine years ago, when I first came to the United States. I never heard of this delicious and simple appetizer while living in Colombia. For those who have never heard of Deviled Eggs, they are hard-boiled eggs, cut in half and filled with the hard-boiled egg’s yolk, mixed with different ingredients.
They are simple and easy to make and a great picnic food. There are many variations of this egg dish. I made Shrimp Deveiled Eggs and they were fantastic, I could not stop eating them.
Buen provecho!
Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 4 cooked shrimp, diced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon lime juice
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and ground pepper
- Paprika and cilantro for garnish
Directions
- Put the eggs in a saucepan and half fill with water. Set over medium heat. When the water bubbles gently, reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.
- When the eggs are cool enough to handle, take them out of the water. Carefully peel off the eggshell.
- Put the eggs on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut each egg in half lengthwise. Use a soup spoon to scoop the yolks out of the eggs and into a bowl. Put the egg white halves on a serving platter and set aside.
- Add the mayonnaise, onions, cumin, lime juice and mustard to the bowl with the yolks. Use the spoon to mash them all together into a paste. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper.
- For each stuffed egg half, sprinkle on paprika and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.

Here they’re called huevos rellenos – I didn’t know the name in English – love them with shrimp! 🙂

I’m with Kim on this one.Addictive. I too have never tried them with the diced shrimp, though I see them on recipe sites all over the web. A must try at least once.
Thanks.

I don’t remember when I first had deviled eggs and it’s been a long time since I last had them. But they are delicious! I love the shrimp in your version. 😎

They look fantastic! I like the height of the fillings! Most of the decilled eggs I see are quite plain. This looks like it is standing up and ready to sing! Nice one.

We have deviled eggs on a regular basis – I’ve made crab deviled eggs before but never shrimp. I need to correct that oversight!
Harrison Huffer says
Very nice. I’m going to give it a go. Wish me luck!
