Equipment
- 1 frying pan or wok
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 stalks of green onions finely chopped
- 8 oz medium-sized shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1.5 teaspoons flour
- White pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Prepare the Shrimp: Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp. Pat them dry with a paper towel, then season with a pinch of salt. Toss the shrimp with flour to coat them evenly.
- Beat the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt. Once well mixed, stir in the chopped green onions.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat a wok over medium heat with a little oil. Add the shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the wok and set them aside.
- Cook the Egg Mixture: In the same wok, pour in the egg mixture. Let it cook for about 2 minutes, then add the cooked shrimp back into the wok. Break the egg and shrimp into smaller pieces to ensure the eggs cook evenly.
- Serve: Transfer to a plate and garnish with extra green onions and white pepper if desired. Serve hot.

- Add Vegetables: Incorporate vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for added texture and nutrition.
