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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a fork or whisk until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Wipe the skillet clean, then return it to medium heat and melt the butter.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Sprinkle salt and ground black pepper over the eggs. Add the cooked shrimp and bell pepper mixture evenly over one half of the omelette.

Step 7

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions over the shrimp and bell peppers.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
