⏱️ Time: 25 minutes🍽️ Yields: 12 halves
How to Make It
Step 1: Prep the Eggs
Carefully slice each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yellow yolks and place them in a small bowl, leaving the white halves on a platter.
Step 2: Make the Filling
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onions, chopped crawfish, and Creole seasoning. Stir everything together until creamy and well mixed. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
Step 3: Assemble & Garnish
Spoon or pipe the crawfish yolk filling back into the egg white halves. Sprinkle a little paprika over the top of each egg for color before serving.

Step 2: Fill Egg Whites

Step 3: Create Spiders
For each deviled egg, cut one black olive in half lengthwise. Place one half on top of the yolk mixture for the spider’s body. Slice the other half into thin strips to create the “legs.” Arrange four strips on each side of the olive body.
