Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 150 grams large shrimp, deveined and peeled
• 0.5 piece red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 pieces green onion, finely sliced
• 50 grams baby spinach, chopped
• 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk together until well combined.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper and green onion. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Add the chopped baby spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until the spinach has wilted.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, tilting the skillet to spread the eggs evenly.

Step 7

Arrange the cooked shrimp over one half of the omelette.

Step 8

As the eggs begin to set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges, allowing any uncooked eggs to flow underneath.

Step 9

Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly soft on top, fold the omelette in half over the shrimp.

Step 10

Continue cooking for another minute to ensure the inside is fully set.

Step 11

Slide the omelette onto a plate, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
