Ingredients

For the shrimp:

  • 1 cup shrimp tail off, peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the eggs:

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Marinate the peeled and deveined raw shrimp with one teaspoon of cornstarch, a pinch of salt and black pepper in a bowl. Set the shrimp mixture aside for about 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, mix the beaten eggs, cornstarch slurry(one teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water), salt, black pepper, and chopped green onions. Mix well to create a silky egg mixture.
  • Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink.
  • In the same pan, pour the beaten egg mixture over the cooked shrimp until they are combined.
  • Using a wooden spoon, gently stir the mixture, allowing the eggs to set on the bottom. Once a cooked layer of egg forms, gently fold it into the uncooked portion. Continue stirring until the eggs are set but soft.
  • Serve the shrimp scrambled eggs over white rice or as a side dish, enjoy!
