Savory Shrimp and Egg Stir-Fry
A Deliciously Creamy and Savory Shrimp and Egg Stir-Fry Recipe
Create a simple yet wonderfully creamy and savory shrimp and egg stir-fry using just a few ingredients. This dish is perfect for a quick meal that’s sure to impress!
Main Ingredients- 15 Shrimp, peeled and deveined (medium-sized cocktail shrimp recommended)
- 3 Fresh Eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Melt 20g of unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan to ensure the butter coats the bottom evenly, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 2
Once the butter is fully melted and fragrant, add the 15 prepared shrimp to the skillet. Stir-fry them gently in the butter, allowing them to absorb its delicious flavor. Medium-sized cocktail shrimp work wonderfully here, cooking quickly and absorbing the buttery essence.
Step 3
As the shrimp begin to sauté in the butter, season them with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. The subtle spice of the pepper will enhance the shrimp’s natural sweetness and the richness of the butter.
Step 4
When the shrimp turn a vibrant pink and are partially cooked, push them to one side of the skillet. Crack the 3 eggs into the empty space. Keep the heat at medium. This allows the eggs to start setting before being mixed.
Step 5
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 10-15 seconds, then gently scramble them with a spatula or chopsticks. Aim for soft curds rather than small, dry pieces. You want a creamy texture.
Step 6
Avoid overcooking the scrambled eggs. When they are still soft and slightly wet, gently combine them with the shrimp. Stir everything together, allowing the creamy eggs to lightly coat the shrimp for a luscious texture.
Step 7
Now, add 0.5 tablespoon of oyster sauce for that savory umami boost. Since shrimp can be naturally salty, it’s best to start with a smaller amount of oyster sauce. Taste the dish after adding it, and if needed, add a little more to achieve your desired seasoning. This step is key to balancing the flavors.
Step 8
Once the oyster sauce is incorporated and the flavors are well-balanced, turn off the heat. Sprinkle a pinch of toasted sesame seeds over the stir-fry for a final touch of nutty aroma and visual appeal. Your delicious shrimp and egg stir-fry is ready!
Step 9
Enjoy your beautifully prepared Shrimp and Egg Stir-Fry! It’s wonderful served over steamed rice or as a delightful side dish. Happy cooking!
