Scrambled Eggs And Shrimp

Cantonese-style scrambled eggs with shrimp is a classic dish that embodies simplicity and elegance. The eggs are whisked to a silky texture, then gently cooked to perfection, creating a soft and creamy base. Juicy, tender shrimp add a burst of flavor, perfectly complementing the light seasoning of the dish. It's a quick, comforting recipe that's both nutritious and irresistibly delicious!

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, scallions, black pepper, and ½ teaspoon each of the kosher salt and white pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, toss together the shrimp and the remaining ½ teaspoon each kosher salt and white pepper. Gently mix in the cornstarch.
  3. In a hot pan over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of the oil, and let heat. Add the shrimp, and sear on both sides for about 1–2 minutes per side, until just cooked. Remove the shrimp from the pan immediately.
  4. To the same hot pan, add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Add the egg mixture. Cook, undisturbed, until the sides of the egg just set, about 20 seconds. Add the cooked shrimp, and cook, gently stirring to scramble, until cooked to your liking, 3–5 minutes. Serve with a bowl of hot rice.
  5. Enjoy!
