instructions
    1

    Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp and then chop them into small pieces. Set aside.

    2

    In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and sauté for about 4 minutes until translucent.

    3

    Add minced garlic to the pan and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

    4

    Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan, cooking for about 5 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.

    5

    In a bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper until well combined.

    6

    Pour the beaten eggs over the shrimp and mushroom mixture in the pan, gently mixing to distribute evenly.

    7

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it cook for about 7 to 10 minutes, until the eggs are set but still moist.

    8

    Once cooked, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish and serve warm or at room temperature.
