Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 120 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a fork or whisk until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add diced red bell pepper and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start softening.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Remove shrimp and peppers from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean, then return it to medium heat and melt the butter.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, tilting it so the eggs cover the bottom evenly. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes or until the edges just begin to set.
Sprinkle salt and ground black pepper over the eggs. Add the cooked shrimp and bell pepper mixture evenly over one half of the omelette.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions over the shrimp and bell peppers.
Using a spatula, gently fold the plain side of the omelette over the toppings to form a half-circle shape. Cook for an additional minute or until the cheese is melted.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
