Share recipe
Description
These are truly elegant deviled eggs, with shrimp, bacon, and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 3 slices bacon
- ¼ cup instant potato flakes
- ¼ cup fat-free mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 6 ounces cooked shrimp - peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
- 1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel.
- 2. Place bacon in a large skillet; cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble bacon when cool enough to handle.
- 3. Cut each egg in half lengthwise; place half the egg yolks in a bowl, reserving remaining yolks for another use. Mash yolks with a fork; stir in potato flakes, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, black pepper, and red pepper until smooth. Stir shrimp, parsley, and cilantro into yolk mixture.
- 4. Arrange egg whites cut-side-up on a serving platter. Spoon about 1 rounded tablespoon yolk mixture into each egg white half; sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
