Tender shrimp are sautéed with garlic and combined with fluffy scrambled eggs, all garnished with fresh green onions. Ready in just 20 minutes, this recipe offers a delightful blend of protein and savory flavors with minimal ingredients.


Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced


Instructions

  1. Whisk the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Cook the shrimp: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
  3. Cook the garlic: Add the minced garlic to the same pan and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  4. Scramble the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still slightly soft.
  5. Combine shrimp and eggs: Add the cooked shrimp back into the pan and stir to combine with the eggs.
  6. Garnish and serve: Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use medium heat to avoid overcooking the shrimp and eggs.
  • You can substitute milk with cream or a dairy-free alternative if preferred.
  • For added crunch, consider garnishing with chopped peanuts or sesame seeds.
  • Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
  • Make sure shrimp is fully peeled and deveined for best texture.
