How to Make Scrambled Egg With Shrimp

  1. Devein 1 pound of shrimp if desired. If shrimp are large, cut into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Sprinkle shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or canola) or 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add shrimp to the hot skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turns pink (about 3-5 minutes).
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
  6. Increase heat to medium-high. Add the cooked shrimp and 2 chopped scallions to the skillet.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
  8. Cook, gently scraping the bottom and sides of the pan with a spatula to prevent sticking and create a creamy texture.
  9. As the eggs begin to set, gently fold them over themselves, breaking up any large curds.
  10. If the mixture starts to clump, remove it from the heat, stir, and then return to low heat to finish cooking.
  11. Once the eggs are cooked through but still creamy (about 2-3 minutes), taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  12. Garnish with extra scallions (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy!
