Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 200 grams raw prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 100 grams baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly with the milk, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the prawns and sprinkle them with smoked paprika. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and fully cooked through. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low, pour the whisked eggs into the pan, and gently stir with a spatula, moving the eggs around frequently to create soft, creamy curds.
When the eggs are nearly set but still slightly runny, fold the cooked prawns and spinach back into the pan. Gently mix to combine and warm through.
Remove the pan from the heat immediately to avoid overcooking the eggs.
Serve the huevos revueltos warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Pair with crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal.
