Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 150 g fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 green onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 spray non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and egg whites together with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean, then apply a spray of non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling it around to cover the entire bottom. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until it starts to set around the edges.
Sprinkle the cooked shrimp, green onions, diced red bell pepper, and chopped parsley evenly over one-half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half to cover the fillings. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes until set.
Remove from heat, transfer to a plate, and serve hot.
