About the recipe

This Shrimp Omelette recipe is my family-loved breakfast. If you think you can’t impress yours with eggs, this omelette recipe is sure to change that – especially if they love shrimp! 🙂

Which season is this recipe best for?

This Shrimp Omelette can be enjoyed year-round. Period.

Where can I buy the ingredients for this recipe?

You can find the ingredients for this recipe at your local grocery store or seafood market.

Ensure the shrimp is fresh, or frozen at the peak of its quality, to enhance the overall flavor of your Shrimp Omelette.

Can I substitute the ingredients in this recipe?

Sure! You can substitute the shrimp with other seafood options such as crab or lobster for a luxurious twist.

Additionally, you may experiment with different spices and herbs such as dill, parsley, and cilantro which provide a nice unique flavor to this dish.

I love adding spring onions, but I also enjoy serving it with chopped cilantro, too – so good! 😉

Can I make this recipe part of a menu?

Absolutely! The versatility of the Shrimp Omelette makes it a perfect addition to any brunch or dinner menu.

Pair it with a side salad like Garlic Tomato Salad or Poached Salmon in White Wine for a light and satisfying meal.

For a dessert, go with my Apple Cinanamon Cake, Kiwi Pavlova, or Blueberry Pavlova.

Which drinks would you pair it with?

If you serve it for breakfast or brunch, I recommend to serve it with a cup of your favorite coffee or fresh orange juice.

If this Shrimp Omelette is part of the menu go with crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Encruzado.

Alternatively, I love to make a refreshing mimosa that complements the flavors of this dish beautifully.

How long can I store this recipe leftovers?

While best enjoyed fresh, you can store leftover Shrimp Omelette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.

Simply reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving to preserve its delicious texture and flavor. Add some chopped spring onion after reheating.
