    This egg and shrimp dish really hits home with me -- it was a staple at home for me when I was growing up and is still, to this day, a favorite go to dish of mine. Luckily for me, this is also one of the most protein rich, calorie light recipes ever so it's great for days when you have a tight calorie budget but still need to hit your daily protein intake!

    🍏 How to Make It Healthy – The Fitsian Method

    Scrambled eggs & shrimp is already naturally healthy - I just keep portion control in mind by using 1 serving of shrimp and 2 eggs. You can easily adjust the recipe by adding more eggs and/or shrimp if you want more protein. Sometimes when I need a heartier meal, I'll serve this on top of a serving of rice.

    💭 FAQs

    How do I make sure my eggs are not overcooked?

    Make sure you turn your heat down to low before you start cooking your eggs. Stir the pan thoroughly to ensure each part of the egg is cooked evenly and remove from pan just right before it begins to solidify (or at your desired texture). 

    What size shrimps should I use?

    Any size works -- I usually use about 3-4oz worth of shrimp. You can use this guide on shrimp sizing on how many shrimps to use per size. 

    What can I pair this dish with?

    This dish would go well on top of a bed of rice, or even mixed in with some rice noodles. If you are looking for a low carb alternative, this recipe is also great by itself.
