This is a real nice brunch dish, or good for lunch or a light dinner. The recipe calls for a can of shrimp but I usually use frozen (thawed) cooked shrimp, coarsely chopped.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp: Fresh shrimp will have a firm texture and a slightly sweet smell. Avoid shrimp that is slimy or has a strong odor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will help to prevent the shrimp and eggs from sticking to the pan.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the shrimp and eggs will not cook evenly.
  • Season the shrimp scramble to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Serve the shrimp scramble immediately: Shrimp scramble is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Shrimp scramble is a quick and easy breakfast or brunch recipe that is packed with protein and flavor. It is a great way to use up leftover shrimp, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal.
