Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 medium shrimp
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 onion, sliced
1 green onion, sliced
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Prepare sauce by adding oyster sauce to chicken broth then whisk.
  • Heat wok or skillet until extremely hot.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil & stir fry shrimp, onion & green onion until just cooked then remove.
  • Add 2 tablespoons oil to wok & when hot, add the beaten eggs.
  • Return shrimp & onions to wok.
  • Stir in the shrimp once so they become part of the omlette & then let them sit, continue to break holes in the egg between the shrimp to allow raw egg to contact the wok.
  • Jiggle, poke & shimmy the omlette to prevent sticking until mostly cooked.
  • Flip or turn omlette & finish cooking on other side for a few second then turn out onto warm plate & cover with foil.
  • Return wok to heat.
  • Add cornstarch to sauce & whisk then add to wok.
  • Boil sauce until thick then pour over omlette.
  • A "slight" burn on the egg tastes great with the sauce but not too much.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 diced tomato
1 green onion, chopped
1 pinch salt and pepper
8 cooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pinch dried red pepper flakes, to taste for heat (I say be generous with it)
4 eggs, beaten
1 pinch dried oregano (or tsp of fresh chopped oregano, I used dry in order to make the meal faster)
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to broil.
  • In frying pan, heat a little oil over medium heat and add the tomato and green onion. Season with salt and pepper. Heat for around 3 minutes, until tomatoes are starting to break down. Add the shrimp and red pepper flakes. Mix well to coat in tomatoes, and cook for just a minute to warm through.
  • Heat a broiler-safe frying pan over medium heat. Add a little olive oil, and when hot, pour in half the beaten eggs, seasoning them well with salt and pepper first. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the underside of the egg is beginning to set but the top remains runny.
  • Sprinkle the oregano over the omelette, then pour half the tomato and shrimp mixture over the top, making sure the shrimp are in an even layer. Crumble over the feta cheese, season with salt and pepper, and add a drizzle of oil.
  • Place the omelette under the hot broiler, and broil for 3-4 minutes until the egg is just cooked through. Remove, serve, and enjoy.

SHRIMP OMELETTE SCRAMBLE



SHRIMP OMELETTE SCRAMBLE image

Categories     Egg     Shellfish     Brunch     Sauté     Quick & Easy

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 cups medium-sized cooked shrimps
1/2 an onion, thinly sliced
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
3 tablespoons coriander leaves (cilantro), finely chopped
Garnish (Optional)
butter lettuce
sliced roma tomatoes
sliced cucumbers

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, beat eggs with salt. Set aside. 2. Heat oil in a pan. When hot fry onions until the edges caramelize. 3. Toss in the shrimps and fry for 1 minute. Mix in curry powder and saute until fragrant for another 1 minute. 4. Pour in the beaten eggs. When the eggs are set, turn the omelette over. 5. Give it a little scramble and sprinkle the finely chopped coriander leaves. Cook until eggs are done. 6. Dish shrimp omelette scramble out on to four separate serving plates and serve them whilst hot.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a firm texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are mushy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will help prevent the omelet from sticking.
  • Cook the omelet over medium heat: Medium heat will help the omelet cook evenly without burning.
  • Don't overfill the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the eggs will not cook evenly.
  • Fold the omelet carefully: Use a spatula to gently fold the omelet in half or thirds.
  • Serve the omelet immediately: An omelet is best served hot out of the skillet.

Conclusion:

The shrimp omelet is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover shrimp, and it is also a good source of protein and nutrients. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect shrimp omelet every time.
