Zucchini Shrimp Frittata Directions
- Preheat:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees if finishing the frittata in the oven (recommended for even cooking). - 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. - 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. - Whisk the eggs:
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and cheese.
Stir in the cooked shrimp and optional herbs. - 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. - 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. - Serve:
Let it cool slightly, then slice and serve warm at room temperature.
