The core flavor profile is built upon the fresh, slightly bitter taste of the wild asparagus, often balanced by the natural sweetness of the prawns. Garlic, sautéed in olive oil, provides an aromatic and savory base. The eggs, cooked to a soft scramble, contribute a rich, creamy texture and a mild, eggy flavor that unifies the other ingredients. A touch of salt and pepper amplifies the existing flavors, while some variations might include a pinch of paprika for a smoky undertone.
