Ingredients

  • 10-15 middle size fresh whole shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tablespoon spring onion (green parts) finely chopped
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon rice wine

Instructions

  • Preparing: Marinade the shrimp with a pinch of salt and rice wine for 5 minutes. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of spring onions.
  • Cooking: Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat for one minute, add the shrimps and cook until they are sizzling and slightly browned. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook without stirring for 10 seconds. Stir and mix well. Cook the eggs to your liking.
  • Finishing: Add the remaining spring onions as a garnish and serve.

Notes

  • Shrimp: Shrimp with shells provide a better flavour and texture, whereas frozen, shelled shrimp tend to lose their flavour during factory processing.
  • Eggs: For a moist and tender scrambled egg texture, whisk in two tablespoons of water while preparing the eggs.
  • Spring Onion: The green part of the spring onion cooks at a similar rate as the eggs. If you're including the white part, be sure to slice it thinly.
