Instructions

  1. 1

    Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.

  2. 2

    Prepare an ice bath while eggs cook. Transfer cooked eggs to ice water and let cool for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Set aside.

  4. 4

    In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat until foaming.

  5. 5

    Add Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to the butter. Stir and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  6. 6

    Add hot sauce and lemon juice to the seasoned butter, stirring to combine into a smooth sauce.

  7. 7

    Add the halved eggs to the skillet and gently toss to coat completely in the spicy butter sauce.

  8. 8

    Cook for 1-2 minutes, spooning sauce over eggs to ensure they're well-coated and heated through.

  9. 9

    Transfer to a serving plate, drizzle with any remaining sauce, and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately with plenty of napkins!
