Introduction
A delicious and easy one-pan Mediterranean meal featuring tender sautéed shrimp and gently poached eggs nestled in a rich, spiced tomato and bell pepper sauce. Served alongside crisp dressed arugula and warm baguette slices for dipping.
Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tsp minced garlic, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant and tender.
Step 2
Add 1/2 pound of shrimp to the pan, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until pink all over. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the rest of the minced garlic along with 1/2 chopped yellow onion. Season with salt and pepper, then sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
Step 4
Dice 1-2 large beefsteak tomatoes and 1 green bell pepper, then add them to the pan.
Step 5
Stir in 2 tbsp tomato paste and 1/2 tsp harissa paste, then sauté everything for 5 minutes.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Do not overcook the shrimp in the first step; cook just until they turn pink so they remain juicy when added back at the end.
Harissa adds a mild spicy kick and depth; adjust the amount according to your heat preference.
Keep the heat on low when simmering the eggs to prevent the bottom of the sauce from burning while the egg whites cook.
