- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Warm vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

- Transfer cooked shrimp to a separate plate, preserving the flavorful pan juices.
- Quickly sauté minced garlic in the same pan for 30 seconds, releasing its aromatic essence.
- Pour whisked egg mixture into the skillet, gently folding and stirring to create soft, creamy curds.
- When eggs are nearly set but still slightly runny, reintroduce the seared shrimp to the pan.

- Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions over the stir-fry for a bright, sharp finish.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet, ensuring maximum temperature and flavor preservation.
Notes
- Whisk eggs thoroughly to create a smooth, uniform mixture that ensures even cooking and prevents dry, lumpy eggs.
- Use high-quality, fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture in this quick stir-fry dish.
- Consider adding a splash of soy sauce or oyster sauce for an extra umami boost that enhances the overall taste profile.
- For a low-carb version, serve the stir-fry over cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice to keep the dish light and diet-friendly.
