Shrimp & Eggs

Shrimp & eggs, doesn’t that sound good? Just the words make your mouth water. When you’re cooking this dish, close your eyes, take a deep breath and inhale the lovely combination of aromas. The tender, succulent shrimp mixes with the gooey raw egg as it fries to perfection on the stove top. The dish finishes under the broiler to form a slightly crisp exterior that cracks when you cut through it with your knife.

The good thing is this shrimp and egg dish is easy to make. It literally and takes minutes to prepare and cook. Yet, it tastes delicious and looks elegant and sophisticated. Add some tomatoes, green onions, chili flakes for a little kick-in-the-butt heat, fresh herbs such as oregano and finish with a sprinkling of Feta cheese. You have a healthy lunch or dinner that will keep you satisfied. Enjoy!
