  • Black pepper, to taste

  • Black pepper, to taste

Fried Shrimp:

  • Enough peeled shrimp, cleaned
  • 1 egg, beaten for coating
  • Enough seasoned flour for coating
  • Oil for frying

Vegetables:

  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 corn cob, kernels removed
  • A handful of broccoli florets
  • Enough oil for sautéing
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Dipping Sauces:

  • Mayonnaise, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potato Wedges:

    • Begin by boiling the potato wedges until they are tender. Drain and set aside.
    • Dip the cooked wedges into diluted seasoned flour until coated evenly. Heat oil in a frying pan and cook the potato wedges until they turn a golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
    • Season with salt, black pepper, and oregano to taste.
  2. Make the Scrambled Eggs:

    • In a bowl, mix the beaten eggs with a splash of UHT milk to achieve a creamy texture.
    • Heat a small amount of margarine in a non-stick skillet over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from drying out. Aim to keep the eggs soft and a vibrant yellow.
    • Season with salt and black pepper as desired.
  3. Cook the Fried Shrimp:

    • Coat the cleaned shrimp in beaten egg, then dredge in seasoned flour.
    • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the shrimp until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
  4. Sauté the Vegetables:

    • Heat a little oil in a skillet and add the diced carrot, corn kernels, and broccoli florets.
    • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Serve:

    • Arrange the potato wedges, scrambled eggs, fried shrimp, and sautéed vegetables on a plate.
    • Accompany with dipping sauces like chili sauce and mayonnaise.
    • Enjoy your hearty and flavorful breakfast!

This simple breakfast recipe is not only delicious but also versatile and easy to prepare, making it an ideal choice for starting your day on a positive note.
