Eggs, Shrimp & Feta – Perfect Combo!!🍳🦐

Eggs, Shrimp & Feta – Perfect Combo! 🍳🦐

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or frozen)
• 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, diced (optional)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for a tangy touch)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Shrimp:

   • If using frozen shrimp, thaw them first by placing them in a bowl of cold water for about 10-15 minutes, then pat them dry.
   • Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt, pepper, and paprika (optional).

2. Cook the Shrimp:

   • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and onion (if using) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened.
   • Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. Scramble the Eggs:

   • In the same skillet, add a bit more oil or butter if needed. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet and scramble gently over medium heat. Cook until they start to set but are still slightly runny.
   • Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a dash of paprika or herbs if you like.

4. Combine:

   • Once the eggs are nearly cooked through, add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet along with the crumbled feta cheese.
   • Stir everything gently to combine, allowing the feta to melt slightly and the shrimp to heat through.

5. Serve:

   • Once the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese has melted, remove from heat.
   • Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice (optional).
   • Serve immediately with a side of toast or a fresh salad.

Tips:

• Customize the Cheese: If you’re not a fan of feta, you can swap it for goat cheese, mozzarella, or any cheese you prefer.
• Add Veggies: Throw in some spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Spicy Kick: Add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes if you like a little heat in your eggs.

This Eggs, Shrimp & Feta dish is perfect for a flavorful, protein-packed meal. Enjoy the creamy eggs, succulent shrimp, and the tangy feta all together in one bite! 🥄🦐🍳
