Made for the Culinary Quest 2014 - Altho you described this aptly as a 1-dish-meal, I took a different view as I awoke today. I scaled this easy-fix recipe down to 1 serving & enjoyed it for breakfast w/my juice & coffee. I used Icelandic baby shrimp vs a larger size. Man, it was so good & I felt so decadent starting my day w/your recipe. Having had my guilty pleasure alone, I expect I will share it w/Siggi & his brother for our weekly Sat brunch after their walk. Boy will they be impressed! Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :-)

I enjoyed this lovely dish for dinner tonight, along with some naan bread and banana slices. A very tasty and satisfying meal indeed. The flavored scrambled eggs were incredible. Love the subtleness of the sesame oil and the soya sauce, they add a nice layer of flavor to the dish. The shrimp were perfect, flavorful, tender and juicy and paired beautifully with the eggs. Thank you for sharing this recipe which I will enjoy often. Made for Culinary Quest 2014 - China - Suitcase Gourmets.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
