Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking
• 2 large eggs, for topping
• Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Shrimp and Egg Pancakes

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, 2 eggs, baking powder, and salt until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable.
2. Gently fold in the cooked shrimp and chopped green onions until evenly distributed.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted and bubbling, pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet.
4. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
5. In a separate pan, cook 2 large eggs sunny-side up until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.
6. Stack the pancakes on plates, top with a sunny-side-up egg, and garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, consider seasoning the shrimp with a pinch of garlic powder or Old Bay seasoning before adding them to the batter.
• Ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding the batter to achieve a nice golden crust.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook pancakes in batches to maintain even cooking.

Easy Variations

• Swap shrimp for crab meat or diced cooked chicken for a different protein.
• Add spices like cayenne or paprika to the batter for a spicy kick.
• Incorporate shredded cheese into the batter for a cheesy version.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• A side of crispy bacon for added savory goodness.
• A light green salad with a citrus vinaigrette to balance the meal.
