Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Pinch Salt

Shrimp

  • 5-6 pieces Shrimp
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp Tamari (or low sodium soy sauce)
  • Drizzle Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1-2 tbsp Chopped Green onion

Water for the steamer

Instructions
 

  • Add water and your steaming basket in a pot, and bring this to a boil while you prep the egg mixture.
  • In a bowl, mix eggs, water, and salt. Whisk until very well combined.
  • In an oven-safe baking dish, add the mesh sieve or strainer and run the egg through to remove the air bubbles.
  • Cover the bowl with a saran wrap (this will help with the water moisture from dripping into the egg).
  • Steam the egg for (8-12 minutes); remember that steamers are not created equal. Mine had set after 10 minutes.
  • Prep the shrimp and set aside.
  • Once the egg has hardened a bit, add the shrimp on top. Cover and steam for another (6-8 minutes). Mine cooked after 7 minutes.
  • Prep the sauce
  • Once done, serve with a side of rice, and pour the sauce over the egg and shrimp. Enjoy!
