8 eggs

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

½ cup chopped scallions

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Optional garnish: Chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

Step 1

For this recipe, it’s ideal to use small-sized shrimp. However, if you happen to have larger ones on hand, go ahead and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Begin by sprinkling the shrimp with a touch of salt
and pepper.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat oil or butter over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook until they turn somewhat pink or orange, stirring as needed. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and mix in soy sauce and sesame oil for added flavor.

Step 3

Heat the skillet to medium-high, then add the eggs and scallions. Gently fold the eggs over with a spatula, ensuring to break up any curds that form. If the mixture starts to clump, briefly remove it from heat, stir, and then continue cooking.

Step 4

Once the eggs reach a creamy texture, adjust the seasoning according to your preference, add any desired garnishes, and serve right away.
