Stir-frying shrimp and eggs brings out the best in the taste and texture of these two common ingredients. This recipe includes tips to ensure the best results.

Scrambled eggs with shrimps is a simple yet sophisticated dish that is definitely a classic Cantonese dish. I love its clean, simple look and the perfect combination of flavor and texture. The eggs are cooked to a fluffy, melt-in-the-mouth softness, exuding a sweet and delicious flavor. The shrimp retains its natural sweetness and crispy elasticity.

Although the ingredients and cooking process of this dish are simple, you need to pay attention to the details if you want to make it perfect.

Before writing this article, I did some taste testing and scientific literature research to explain the "why" and "how" of this dish. Finally, I am happy to introduce this recipe to you all.

Like the traditional Tomato and Egg Scramble, the Shrimp and Egg Scramble is a great example of "less is more." The ingredient list is short and you won’t have any trouble sourcing them.

If you follow the correct steps and understand the importance of calorie control Sex, cooking shrimp and egg scramble doesn't require any effort. Here are some steps and some tips on how to use it correctly.

Season the shrimp

Place the shrimp in a bowl and add salt, white pepper and starch. Use chopsticks to stir evenly.

Tip: This step helps make the shrimp less soggy (and therefore less splattering when frying) and keeps the shrimp tender.

Beat the eggs

Beat all the eggs into a bowl. Then add salt, white pepper, sesame oil and a little water. Stir with chopsticks until even and smooth.

Tip: Adding water is very important as it gives you a better finish to the texture of the hard-boiled eggs.

Fried Shrimp

Add cooking oil to a non-stick pan/wok and heat over medium heat. Fry the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Once the first side turns pink, flip over. Turn off the heat when the second side also turns pink. Add the shrimp to the egg mixture, leaving the oil in the pan.

Tip: It is important not to overcook the shrimp. Otherwise, it will become dry and chewy.

Boiled Eggs

Pour everything into the pot and turn the heat to the lowest setting. When the bottom starts to set, use a spatula to gently scrape and push the eggs. This helps the liquid portion reach the hot pan. Keep doing this until most of the eggs have turned into a curd-like mass, but still look a little uncooked.

Tip: Low heat and continuous scraping are the keys to success in this step. Like I mentioned before, adding water to the eggs makes them fluffy and soft. However, "overheating" can cause some of the added liquid to separate.

Sprinkle with chopped green onion and serve immediately. When you bring the dish to the table and start eating, the uncooked part of the egg has already been cooked by the heat of the dish.
