- Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, peel, then slice each egg lengthwise and remove yolks.
- Mash yolks and mix with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Pipe or spoon into egg white halves.
- In a skillet, heat oil or butter over medium heat. Cook sausage until browned, then remove and set aside. In the same skillet, cook shrimp seasoned with paprika, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and optional brown sugar until pink and opaque. Set aside.
- For the sauce, melt butter over medium-low heat. Sauté minced garlic briefly. Stir in lemon juice, hot sauce, Old Bay, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne, and optional brown sugar. Simmer 1–2 minutes.
- Top each deviled egg with a shrimp and sausage slice. Drizzle with warm seafood boil sauce and garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
- Prepare components ahead of time but assemble just before serving for the best texture.
- Use an ice bath after boiling eggs to make peeling easier.
- Adjust spice by controlling Cajun seasoning and hot sauce amounts.
