Deviled eggs are a classic appetizer, but with the addition of crawfish and Cajun spices, they become a Southern delicacy called NOLA crawfish stuffed deviled eggs. Crawfish, a freshwater crustacean prevalent in Louisiana cuisine, lends a unique flavor and texture to this dish, while the addition of cayenne and paprika adds a spicy kick. These flavorful morsels are perfect for any occasion, from a Mardi Gras party to a summer cookout.

Steps:
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water, not too deep. Place on burner on HIGH heat. Once they start to boil turn on the timer to 3 minutes. When the timer goes off, quickly take off the heat, put on the lid and reset the timer to 8 minutes. When 8 minutes are up, take to sink and run cold water over them for about a minute, let them soak a bit to cool off. Once the eggs are cool, peel and cut them in half lengthwise, separating the yolks from the whites. Set both aside. In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat and add the onions, celery, jalapenos, poblanos, and spices. Season with salt & pepper. Cook for 4 minutes to sweat the vegetables. Add the crawfish and cook for another 5 minutes. Let the mixture cool. Put the cooked egg yolks in a mixing bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher. Add the lemon juice, mayonnaise and mustard and mix to combine. Fold in the cooled crawfish mixture. Spoon the crawfish mixture into the cooked whites. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with chives and top each with a crawfish tail.
Tips:
- For a smoother filling, use a food processor to blend the crawfish, cream cheese, and seasonings until well combined.
- If you don't have a food processor, finely chop the crawfish and cream cheese by hand, then mix in the seasonings until well blended.
- To make the filling easier to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before stuffing the eggs.
- If you are using large eggs, you may need to adjust the amount of filling you use. Start with 1/2 tablespoon of filling per egg and add more as needed.
- To prevent the eggs from cracking, gently tap them on a hard surface before peeling.
- For a more elegant presentation, pipe the filling into the eggs using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
