Ingredients

6 Oakdell Cage-free eggs
1/4 cup milk (or cream for richer texture)
1 medium zucchini, grated or thinly sliced
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (small shrimp works best; if large, chop roughly)
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (or cheese of choice: feta, mozzarella, etc.)
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh herbs, chopped (optional: parsley, dill, or chives)

Zucchini Shrimp Frittata Directions

  1. Preheat:
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees if finishing the frittata in the oven (recommended for even cooking).
  2. Prep the shrimp:
    Season shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper.
    In an oven-safe skillet (like cast iron), heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
    Sauté shrimp for 2-3 minutes until just pink and lightly seared. Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the veggies:
    In the same skillet, add 1 Tbsp olive oil.
    Sauté onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes.
    Add zucchini and cook for another 2-3 minutes until just softened. Season lightly.
  4. Whisk the eggs:
    In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and cheese.
    Stir in the cooked shrimp and optional herbs.
  5. Combine and cook:
    Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed zucchini in the skillet.
    Stir gently to distribute ingredients evenly. 
    Cook on stovetop for 2-3 minutes, just until the edges begin to set. 
  6. Finish in the oven:
    Transfer skillet to preheated oven.
    Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is just set. 
  7. Serve:
    Let it cool slightly, then slice and serve warm at room temperature.
