Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set the mixture aside to use later.
- 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, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside safely.
- Cook the garlic: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Scramble the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft to retain a creamy texture.
- Combine shrimp and eggs: Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and gently stir to combine with the scrambled eggs, ensuring even distribution.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the thinly sliced green onions over the stir-fry and serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure not to overcook the eggs to keep them soft and tender rather than rubbery.
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor, or thaw frozen shrimp thoroughly before cooking.
- Feel free to add a splash of soy sauce or a pinch of chili flakes if you want extra seasoning and heat.
- This recipe pairs well with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
