How to Make Shrimp Omelette

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Discard the garlic.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened and translucent.
  4. Add 1/2 pound cooked, peeled, and deveined shrimp (or cook 1 pound raw shrimp until pink) and sauté for 1-2 minutes, just to heat through.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until light and frothy.
  6. Pour the shrimp mixture into the egg mixture and stir gently to combine.
  7. Add a little more olive oil to the skillet if needed.
  8. Pour the egg and shrimp mixture into the skillet and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
  9. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  10. Once the bottom is set, place a large plate over the skillet and carefully flip the omelette onto the plate.
  11. Slide the omelette back into the skillet to brown the other side for 1-2 minutes.
  12. Repeat step 10 and 11 once more to achieve a perfectly cooked three-layer omelette.
  13. Garnish with 1/4 cup diced tomatoes and 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Tampa Cuban Shrimp Omelette!
