Shrimp Omelette

    This shrimp omelette topped with mango salsa is so fresh, delicious, and tropical. I love the way the flavors of the seafood and the homemade salsa go so well together.

    The shrimp is cooked and wrapped into the omelette. Then the omelette is topped with freshly chopped mango, jalapeno, and lime salsa. So good!

    How To Make a Shrimp Omelette

    The shrimp omelette recipe is pretty straightforward. The recipe for the mango salsa is even easier. It all comes together in less than thirty minutes.

    Make sure to have all ingredients and tools available before you start cooking. The eggs burn quickly, so you want to make sure you are ready to keep an eye on them.

    To start, make the mango salsa first so the flavors can marinate while you are preparing the omelette. In a mixing bowl, combine the mango, jalapeno, onion, a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice.

    Ingredients in a bowl

    Toss to combine and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve it.

    After that, whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper until frothy.

    Heat a medium non-stick skillet to medium heat and drizzle with olive oil.

    When the oil is hot, add the egg mixture and cook. Using a spatula, push the edges in as they settle. Cover and cook for about a minute or two. The omelette is done when set on the bottom and slightly wet on top.

    Place shrimp on one-half of the cooked eggs.

    Cooking egg with shrimp

    Using a spatula, flip the other side on top of the shrimp. Turn the heat off and slide the omelette onto a plate.

    Top with the mango salsa and serve immediately.

    What else can I add to the shrimp omelette?

    I kept this recipe simple because the mango salsa has a lot of flavors and I didn’t want it to clash with other ingredients as much. However, if you think it is a bit plain, you can add cream cheese, chives, or onions.

    What type of shrimp should I use?

    I used cleaned, cooked, and deveined shrimp for this recipe. You can do all of that yourself, or simply buy a bag of frozen shrimp. For my omelette, I used medium shrimp, but small (salad) shrimp will work even better.
