Keto Shrimp Cocktail Deviled Eggs

These shrimp cocktail deviled eggs are a fun cocktail appetizer. The cocktail sauce is homemade with plenty of horseradish and lemon for that classic tangy bite.

Eggs, especially egg yolks, are a keto-friendly staple and they are one of the healthiest foods on the planet. They are high in healthy fats, vitamins and minerals such as choline, B12, vitamin A and selenium. They will help you keep your blood sugar levels stable and your heart healthy.

Feeling hungry? Try one hard-boiled egg with a sprinkle of sea salt! In fact, many people find that swapping nuts with eggs for snacking helps them lose weight. Although you will unlikely need to snack when you follow the ketogenic diet, eggs are one of your best options. One of the reasons they are so good for weight loss is that they contain the highest quality protein that will help you stay full for longer.

Step-by-step

1. Place the eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water by 2 ¹/₂ cm (1 inch). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. Once boiling cover and remove from the heat, set aside 8 to 10 minutes. Rinse with cool water then peel and cut in half.

3. Scoop the yolks into a small bowl with the mayonnaise and cocktail sauce, mix until smooth.

   

4. Place the egg whites on a serving platter and fill each with the yolk mixture.

5. Either top with a whole shrimp or cut 2 shrimp in small pieces to top eggs and serve along side the remaining shrimp with cocktail sauce.

   

6. Top with a sprinkle of paprika before serving.

   

7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
