- Total: Approximately 25 minutes
- Active: Around 15 minutes
Gather Your Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick, preferably clarified)
- 7 ounces cleaned, deveined shrimp, sliced lengthwise (or quartered if the shrimp are large)
- 4 roasted tomatoes (prepared separately and sliced into wedges)
- 4 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 4 tablespoons snipped chives
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cups beaten egg whites (from about 16 eggs)
Obliterate Your Hunger with This Delicious Recipe
- Begin by heating your oven to 350°F. To make clarified butter, melt 1 tablespoon of it in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Crank up the heat to high, then add the shrimp pieces, sautéing until they're about 3/4 done — crisp-tender but still translucent in the center.
- Pile on the tomato wedges and spinach, followed by a quick sauté for a minute, or until the spinach has completely wilted. Remove from heat and chuck in the chopped chives. Season generously with a handful of salt and pepper.
- Grab a 6-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron pan, and heat it on medium heat. Throw in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, ensuring the skillet's coated evenly. Pour in the beaten egg whites and arrange the shrimp mixture in the center. Bake this bad boy until the eggs are fluffed up and set in the middle, which should take around 10 to 12 minutes.
That's it! This scrumptious frittata will tantalize your taste buds and keep you satisfied for hours. Enjoy!
Clarified Butter (Ghee): A Kitchen MVP
Here's how to make clarified butter, or ghee, for those who fancy impressing their friends:
Ingredients
- 1 Pound (450g) unsalted butter
Instructions
- Melt Butter: Pop the butter in a saucepan over low heat and watch it melt completely.
- Simmer: Once it's melted, let it simmer. You'll notice a white foam forming on top. Skim off the foam using a spoon.
- Bubble and Foam Reduction: Continue heating until the bubbling slows down, and the foam reduces significantly. This indicates that the milk solids are separating from the butter.
- Golden Color: Keep your eyes on the butter as it turns a light golden color. This stage is crucial to avoid burning the milk solids.
- Cool and Strain: Once the butter has reached the desired color, turn off the heat. Let it cool slightly, until it's lukewarm. Line a sieve with cheesecloth or a muslin cloth, and strain the ghee into a clean container. Discard the milk solids.
Enjoy the versatile, nutty flavor of clarified butter in your dishes!
