Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 pieces egg whites
• 150 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup spinach, fresh
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 10 pieces cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons skim milk
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and skim milk until well combined. Add salt and ground black pepper, whisking again to mix.

Step 2

Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 5

Add the spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Allow the eggs to sit for a minute before gently stirring with a rubber spatula, pulling the cooked eggs from the edges into the center.

Step 7

Once the eggs start to set, add the cooked shrimp evenly over the omelette.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid and let the omelette cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the omelette and serve immediately, divided between two plates.
