Carnivore Shrimp Deviled Eggs Recipe
Ingredients:
-
6 large eggs
-
1/2 cup cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, and finely chopped)
-
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (made with animal fats or homemade; make sure it’s free from any plant-based oils if you’re strict carnivore)
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional, check for no added sugar or non-carnivore ingredients)
-
1 tablespoon beef tallow or pork lard (optional, adds extra richness)
-
Salt and pepper (to taste)
-
Paprika or smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)
-
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Boil the Eggs:
-
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 9-10 minutes. Once done, remove the eggs from the water and let them cool in an ice bath or under cold running water.
-
-
Peel the Eggs:
-
Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and set them aside in a bowl.
-
-
Prepare the Shrimp:
-
If you haven’t already cooked your shrimp, sauté or boil them until fully cooked (about 2-3 minutes if using fresh shrimp). Let them cool, then finely chop them into small pieces.
-
-
Make the Filling:
-
To the bowl with the egg yolks, add the chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, mustard (if using), and beef tallow or pork lard. Mix well until everything is creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
-
Fill the Eggs:
-
Spoon the shrimp mixture into the hollowed-out egg whites. Alternatively, you can pipe the mixture using a piping bag for a cleaner presentation.
-
-
Garnish:
-
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or smoked paprika for a touch of color and flavor. You can also sprinkle some fresh parsley on top if you want to add a bit of color.
-
-
Serve:
-
Chill the deviled eggs in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve cold and enjoy!
-
Pro Tips:
-
Mayonnaise: Make sure the mayonnaise you use is made with animal-based fats like beef tallow, duck fat, or lard. You can also make your own mayonnaise with egg yolks and animal fat if you’re up for it!
-
Shrimp: If you want to get extra fancy, you can sauté the shrimp in butter or beef tallow to add a richer flavor before chopping.
-
Flavor Variations: If you’re okay with a bit of spice, you could mix in some cayenne pepper or hot sauce for an extra kick (just check for zero-carb ingredients).
