Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 300 g mixed-color tomatoes halved
  • 6 broccoli florets
  • 4 button mushrooms sliced
  • 6 shrimp cleaned and deveined
  • 3 eggs

Seasoning Ingredients:

  • 30 g chopped onion
  • 30 g butter or olive oil for a lighter option
  • 1 tsp Shaoxing wine optional
  • 1 tsp black pepper sea salt

Instructions

Prepping the Ingredients

  • Clean the shrimp and place them in a bowl. Add Shaoxing wine and 1/2 tsp black pepper sea salt. Mix well and let marinate for 10-15 minutes to allow the shrimp to fully absorb the seasoning and remove any fishy odor.
  • Cut the mixed-color tomatoes in half.
  • Break the broccoli into small florets, soak in salted water for 5-10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Remove the stems of the button mushrooms and slice them thinly.
  • Dice the onion.

Making the Egg Mixture

  • Crack the 3 eggs into a bowl, add 1/2 tsp black pepper sea salt, and whisk well with chopsticks until the egg mixture is fully combined with the seasoning.

Stir-frying the Ingredients

  • Heat a pan and add the appropriate amount of butter (or olive oil). Once the butter has melted, add the diced onion and sautĂ© on low heat to release the fragrance.
  • Add the marinated shrimp and cook until both sides change color. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Stir-frying the Vegetables

  • In the same pan, add the chopped tomatoes, broccoli florets, and sliced mushrooms. Stir-fry on medium heat for about 1 minute until the vegetables soften slightly and release their aroma. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Baking the Eggs

  • Return the cooked shrimp to the pan, mixing them with the vegetables. Then, pour the egg mixture evenly over the shrimp and vegetables, ensuring the egg covers all ingredients.
  • Cover the pan with a lid (or use aluminum foil to cover the pan if no lid is available). Cook on low heat for 3-5 minutes until the egg mixture sets and is fully cooked.

Serving

  • Once the egg is fully set and cooked through, turn off the heat. Carefully transfer the frittata from the pan to a plate. Slice into small portions and serve.
