Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by peeling and deveining the shrimp, slicing the mushrooms, and chopping the parsley.
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they release their moisture and become lightly golden.
- Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the shrimp and mushrooms.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and spread the shrimp and mushrooms evenly across the pan.
- Pour the whisked eggs over the shrimp and mushrooms, ensuring even coverage. Let the eggs cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes until the bottom sets.
- Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet on top, fold the omelette in half using the spatula.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs are completely set and the omelette is golden brown.
- Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your spicy shrimp and mushroom omelette.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure to pat the shrimp dry before cooking to ensure proper searing and prevent excess moisture.
- Don't overcook the shrimp - they should be just pink and tender to maintain their delicate texture.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelette from sticking and ensure easy flipping.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which helps create a fluffy omelette.
- Cook on medium-low heat to prevent burning and achieve a perfectly golden exterior.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or a dash of hot sauce for additional heat.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the omelette at its peak temperature and texture.
