Ingredients

• 8 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 cups lump crab meat
• 4 large eggs
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup yellow onion, diced
• 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 pieces lemon wedges (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the unsalted butter.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 3

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the shrimp to the empty side. Season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and paprika, then cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque.

Step 4

Add the lump crab meat and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Gently stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes to warm the crab meat and slightly soften the tomatoes.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Push the ingredients in the skillet to one side, creating space for the eggs.

Step 6

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side of the skillet. Pour in the whisked eggs and scramble them using a spatula, cooking until just set but still slightly soft.

Step 7

Once the eggs are scrambled, mix them gently into the rest of the skillet ingredients.

Step 8

Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and serve the seafood breakfast skillet immediately with lemon wedges on the side for garnish.
