Basically, let’s mash two of our favorite things together in one dish. We take this business seriously, and are known for said mash-ups. We love creating them, as you may have noticed. Our Crab Cake BLT, Grilled Cobb Salad, Coconut Custard Key Lime Pie, and Cinnamon Caramel Horchata Caramel Popsicles are just a few examples. These Crab Deviled Eggs with Crispy Shallots may take the cake. Err, eggs.

For everyone else, let’s talk about how wonderful eggs are. They are truly the perfect food. You can do a thousand things with them, they are the glue to many successful recipes. To me, they also scream spring. For some reason once spring hits, I crave egg salad, quiche, all the egg cups and nests, and of course deviled eggs. They just seem to go with everything, you know?

Speaking of which, happy spring! This is truly such a special time. That transition out of winter is such an important one. For those in fellow cold weather winter climates, you really know what I mean.

Regardless of where you are located however, you likely have some shifts come spring. For us, we look forward to more sunshine, the hint of warm weather to come, and the first signs of everything waking up. Fresh flowers, bees buzzing, and plentiful seasonal produce are just around the corner.

With early spring comes Easter. It is also means the first religious holiday and family gathering of the year. Many of us tend to hibernate during the winter and look forward to Easter because of what it signifies. And we also look forward to the food, of course.

All that seasonal produce takes center stage at this holiday meal, and many families have their own traditions. Your family may feature a Ham, Lamb, or Fish, and you may have brunch or a dinner. Regardless of how you celebrate, you likely look forward to some favorites.

We love seafood at Easter. Not everyone does however, so we try to get our fill through appetizers and bites. Small individual portions that everyone can enjoy, or easily pass up if it is isn’t their preference.

Once again we thought, why not combine our love of seafood with our constant craving for eggs? We weren’t quite sure how it would actually happen. But we knew crab deviled eggs just HAD to be a thing.

We choose to mix the crab right into the filling to really infuse the dish with that briney flavor. You could absolutely top the eggs with crab too, or gently stir into the blended egg, if you prefer a more subtle flavor. Or, you could totally leave the crab out altogether. These Paleo eggs would still be awesome plain.

To top things off, we added crispy shallots that are reminiscent of onion strings. The crunchy texture and slightly sharp note really round out the dish.

One last piece of advice before we leave you to get cooking. If you are a deviled egg fan, or plan to serve these babies at a party, invest in an egg plate. Halved eggs piled high with filling do not sit nicely on their own. We would really hate to see all your hard work fall over.
