Shrimp omelette with avocado turns a handful of ingredients into a restaurant-looking breakfast. Sweet shrimp get folded into tender egg, then crowned with a chunky tomato-avocado topping. It's fast, it's high-protein, and it feels far fancier than the effort involved.
Pro Tips
- Sauté the shrimp until pink first, then chop them — cooked shrimp fold into the omelette without watering it down.
- Mix and season the tomato-avocado topping separately so it's ready to spoon on the moment the eggs leave the pan.
- Pour in half the beaten eggs per omelette and make sure they cover the whole skillet bottom for an even, easy fold.
- Fill one half with the chopped shrimp, then fold the other half over — the classic half-moon holds the filling perfectly.
- Cook the shrimp fully but quickly; rubbery shrimp are the only real risk in this recipe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes — thaw them completely and pat them dry first. Wet shrimp steam instead of sauté and never brown properly.
How many omelettes does this make?
Two — the five eggs are divided into two omelettes, each filled with half the chopped shrimp and served with the tomato-avocado topping.
Why is the avocado served on top instead of inside?
Fresh diced avocado keeps its creamy texture as a topping. Folded inside the hot omelette it would turn soft and greasy.
What else can I add to the topping?
Keep it simple — the recipe seasons diced tomato and avocado with salt and pepper. A squeeze of lime is the only tweak most versions need.
