Prepare the Shrimp Mixture:
Begin by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and let it melt. Once the butter is melted, add the finely chopped whites of the spring onions and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until the onions begin to turn a light pink color. -
Cook the Shrimp:
Next, add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Toss them gently, allowing them to cook for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and toss again. Let the shrimp cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to cool. -
Chop the Shrimp:
Once the shrimp has cooled, mince or finely chop them into small pieces. Set aside a few whole shrimp for garnishing later. -
Prepare the Egg Yolks:
Take the hard-boiled eggs and carefully slice them in half. Scoop out the yolks and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks using a fork until they are smooth. -
Make the Filling:
To the mashed egg yolks, add the mayonnaise, mustard sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper powder. Mix everything together until the filling is creamy and well-combined. Taste the mixture and add salt as needed. -
Add Shrimp and Onion:
Stir in the cooked shrimp and spring onion mixture into the egg yolk filling. Ensure everything is thoroughly mixed. Keep a few pieces of shrimp aside for garnishing. -
Fill the Egg Whites:
Using a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner cut off, carefully pipe the egg yolk and shrimp mixture into the hollows of the egg whites. Fill each egg half generously, about 1 tablespoon per egg. -
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish each deviled egg with a piece of shrimp and a sprig of spring onion greens for a touch of color. These shrimp deviled eggs are best served chilled, making them an excellent choice for a refreshing appetizer.
