Shrimp and Eggs

The recipe below is something that my mom cooks occasionally. I don't know if you would classify it as Chinese food, but in my opinion it is just that. I really love eating this dish. The eggs are really good especially with the shrimp. My mom taught me how to cook this and I wrote down the instructions while learning. This is also for my own reference. I still haven't made this yet, but one day I will. :) Can't wait till then.
