Season the raw shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the Cajun seasoning. Heat the olive oil in a cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Move the shrimp to a plate to stop the cooking process.

Using a pastry bag fitted with a large tip, pipe the yolk mixture into the whites. If you do not have a piping bag, use a Ziploc bag with a corner cut off. Top with a shrimp, a slice of jalapeno, and garnish with chives. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, or chill for up to 2 hours.

For extra flavor, consider adding chopped green onions or fresh herbs like dill to the yolk mixture.
After cutting the boiled eggs in half, gently dry them with a paper towel. This helps the filling stick to the egg whites better.
Blend egg yolks, mayo, and other ingredients in a food processor for a smoother filling texture.
Sprinkle Creole seasoning over assembled deviled eggs for extra Cajun flavor.
