I’m a complete fan of shrimp for breakfast!

I mean, why not? It’s delicious and there isn’t a much better combination than shrimp, garlic, and eggs. So, when I was trying to figure out what to make for breakfast on Christmas morning I had a eureka moment.  I’d combine my egg muffins with my garlicky shrimp and eggs and we would have easy Fancy Mini Shrimp Frittatas.

It was a huge hit!

This recipe was developed on the fly Christmas morning, so let’s just call it a guide and feel free to wing it like I did!

Fancy Mini Shrimp Frittatas

Ingredients

12 eggs 12 medium shrimp (I used raw but cooked would be fine if you skip the sautée step) 1 cup frozen hashbrowns (optional, I did it for my family but would do my own for the freezer without, I think) 1/4 cup chopped asparagus (see below for my neat trick for having a little extra in the freezer) 2 tbsp chopped green onions 2 tsp chopped garlic Olive oil Salt and pepper to taste

•  Spray your muffin tin and fill the bottom of each cup with a small amount of hashbrowns and form a cup.
• Season with salt and pepper and broil until golden brown.
• Sautée chopped asparagus with green onions and garlic in a small amount of olive oil
• After a few minutes, add shrimp and sautée until slightly undercooked (just as they turn opaque) and remove from heat
• Break one egg into each cup, place a bit of the asparagus and onions into each cup, and season with salt and pepper
• Cook until eggs are just starting to firm (roughly 5 minutes but I just check by sight) and top each one with a shrimp
• Continue cooking a few minutes, until the egg is fully cooked.

That’s that’s all there is to it!  And they look so pretty and taste so good.  I’d say it’s a pretty impressive breakfast.  I’m going to have a fancy breakfast everyday when I make these for the freezer – yum!
