Ingredients
You only need 8 ingredients to make scrambled eggs with shrimp. The Shaoxing wine and white pepper will eliminate any fishy taste from the shrimp, and the cornstarch will protect it from overheating and keep the shrimp juicy and tender. The eggs are lightly seasoned with salt and green onions. Alongside the shrimp, they’re somehow delicate, yet super rich and satisfying. When I want my egg dishes to really shine (which is always), I use Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs. There are no GMOs, antibiotics, chemicals, or pesticides involved in their organic egg farming. The hens aren’t cooped up in cages, either. You’ll see the difference in the richer yolks, with their beautiful orange hue. You can truly taste the difference as well in these eggs, since they are more flavorful. If you love eggs, you’re going to love scrambled eggs with shrimp, though your results will be even better when you make this dish with high quality eggs such as Pete and Gerry’s.

How to serve
I personally adore having these scrambled eggs with shrimp for a fancy breakfast. And you could even serve it with toast and sparkling wine for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day. For lunch, you can enjoy it with a side salad to make it a full yet quick and light meal. When I make scrambled eggs with shrimp for dinner, I always set steamed rice to cook first so it can be ready together within 20 minutes. If you want a bit of greenery, wilt some baby spinach in the same pan you cooked the eggs in, and season with it salt and pepper. Serve the spinach with the scrambled eggs and shrimp over your rice to create a balanced meal.
