Ingredients

Deviled Eggs

6 large eggs hard-boiled
1 teaspoon chives fresh
¼ cup mayo
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon hot sauce
salt and pepper to taste
paprika or old bay seasoning to garnish

Fried Shrimp

½ lb raw shrimp use small or medium, peeled and deveined, tails off
2 eggs whisked
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup panko bread crumbs
½ teaspoon Kosher salt or to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
oil, for frying canola, peanut, or vegetable oil
½ cup bang bang sauce or more

Instructions

To make the deviled eggs: bring a pot of boiling water to a rapid boil. Add the eggs gently to the pot using a spoon. Boil for 10 minutes.
Once the 10 minutes are up, place the eggs in a bowl with water and ice. Allow them to cool completely and then peel and slice in half lengthwise.
Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Place the egg white on a serving dish.
Use a fork to mash the yolks then add chives, mayo, mustard, and season with salt and pepper.
Fill each egg white with the yolk mixture using a piping bag or tablespoon. Cover them and refrigerate for at least an hour.
To fry the shrimp: remove the shrimp tails and pat dry with a paper towel and heat oil to 350 degrees F.
Season the shrimp with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat.
Coat the shrimp in the flour, shaking off any excess flour. Dip the shrimp in the eggs to coat completely, then allow the excess egg to drip back into the bowl.
Coat the shrimp in panko breadcrumbs and make sure to pack it on. The more panko breadcrumbs you use, the crispier the shrimp will be.
Fry the shrimp for about 1 minute per side.
Once fried, coat with the bang bang sauce, and place each shrimp on top of a deviled egg. Garnish with old bay seasoning or papika, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

If you're making these for a special occasion, I highly recommend preparing the deviled eggs and the bang bang sauce the night before. That way the day of the event, you'll just have to fry the shrimp and place them on top of the deviled eggs.
Fry the shrimp right before serving so they're hot and crispy when you serve them to your guests.
