Course Breakfast, dinner
Cuisine American, spanish
Author Brandy @ Healthy Happy Life Secrets

Ingredients

  • 12 frozen cooked shrimp, medium to jumbo size
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup frozen peas
  • 1 ½ tsp saffron
  • coriander to taste
  • Old Bay to taste
  • 1/2 lemon
  • olive oil
  • pinch of salt and pepper (optional)
  • grated or fine ginger (for a little heat is optional)

Instructions

  • Prep: thaw cooked shrimp and peas. For easy, quick, and a lighter dish, no need to cook separately. To create a heavier dish, you can choose to cook peas separately and heat shrimp in olive oil separately.
  • Coat olive oil to the bottom of the pan. This step can be skipped if you will not be not transporting your cooked dish to another plate.
  • Turn on stove to medium heat. Add your separated egg whites.
  • As soon as egg whites turn from translucent to white color and are semi-solid set, then add your cooked shrimp and drained peas if using the heavier/separate cooking method in Step 1. If using the easy-quick method, then add in the peas sooner before the egg whites are fully set to cook the peas with the egg whites.
  • Add your saffron, coriander, and Old Bay spices to the dish.
  • Cook until egg whites are done and fully solid in the middle. Sides will start to brown.
  • Add fresh lemon and ginger if using. Black pepper can be the mild heat. Add salt at the end so your peas stay pouffy and don't dry out while cooking.
