Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool in ice water.
Peel and halve the eggs: Once cooled, peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.
Make the filling: Mash the yolks with a fork. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Fill the egg whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with paprika and chopped chives. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
