Instructions
For the Creole Shrimp
- Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet on high heat.
- Toss the shrimp in the 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning and saute, tossing lightly, until shrimp is opaque and just cooked through. Remove from the heat.
For the Deviled Eggs
- Remove the eggs from the shells. Split each in half lengthwise, and put the yolks in a mixing bowl.
- To the bowl with the egg yolks, add the remaining ingredients except the bacon and garnish.
- Using a fork or hand mixer, mash yolks and combine ingredients until smooth.
- Transfer the deviled egg mixture to a large resealable bag. Snip off one corner of the bag, and "pipe" the egg mixture into the egg white halves.
- Top each egg with a shrimp, a piece of bacon, and a sprinkling of parsley or snipped chives, and a light sprinkling of Creole seasoning.
Notes
If your Creole seasoning has salt included in it, season the egg mixture to taste (~1/2 tsp). Remember that the shrimp and bacon will contribute more salt. If your Creole seasoning is salt-free, then you can be more generous.
