Juicy Prawns Omelette

Prawns omelette
Prawns, or shrimps, is my top favourite. I love it big or small and any way it’s cooked. Most of the time I like to make it a little spicy but this prawns omelette is one that is not spicy all all. If you like it spicy, you can add some chopped chilies to the egg mixture before frying, or some spicy chili oil. This omelette is soft, juicy and delicious.
This recipe is very simple, easy and quick. You can have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or even any time when you are hungry.
Ingredients
3 eggs (beaten)
a small bowl of cooked prawns
4 spring onions (washed and cut)
salt
pepper
Mix everything in a bowl
Mix everything in a bowl.
Frying the prawns omelette
Heat up some oil in a frying pan. It’s easier to use a non-stick pan here. Pour in all the egg and prawn mixture. Use medium heat. When the bottom is browned, flip over the omelette.
Flip over the prawns omelette
You need to push a wide spatula under the omelette with one hand and with the other hand holding the pan, do the flipping together. When the bottom turns brown, the omelette is cooked. Slide it into a clean plate and cut into pieces to serve. This prawn omelette is quite thick, soft, juicy and delicious. My children liked it very much. It goes great with rice.
Flipping the omelette over can be quite tricky. My children still can’t do it. If you have difficulty, you can fry in small pan and make smaller omelets. They may be thinner and smaller but will still taste as good.

@Divina - Now I wonder how it taste with cheese on it. I wonder too whether to sprinkle powder cheese on it, grated cheese, crushed cheese or diced cheese. I would love to try that, maybe with some chili powder too. I can just imagine the beautiful flavour….mmmm. It just makes me happy even to think of it…haha

Giles, Anyone For Seconds? on March 12th, 2010
Like so many recipes I have been reading recently, I’m coming across new things being added that I wouldnt have considered before and prawns in that yummy omelette is one of them - we make omelettes quite often for lunches at weekends so will give this a go
Thas on March 12th, 2010
I love this omelette, never quite thought of making omelette with shrimp, very creative. I will try this, may be I would make it lil more spicy by adding chilly powder.
Mary on March 13th, 2010
@Giles, Anyone For Seconds? - I can see you are going to have a new twist to your weekend lunch now Have fun cooking!
@Thas - Adding chilies or chili powder will spice it up and give you the kick. We usually dip it in chili sauce or drizzle over with chili oil. It gives the punch…ooooh!
tasteofbeirut on March 13th, 2010

[...] Dinner last night was made completely by my loving husband, Ryan! Realizing how frantic my schedule was becoming, he volunteered to make dinner this weekend. We found a recipe that he felt comfortable trying and tah-dah, his first “non-mac and cheese/ramen noodle” dinner was born! He’s helped out in the kitchen before, but this was the first time he’s been at the helm and his menu item of choice: a prawn omelette, found here: http://www.keeplearningkeepsmiling.com/2010/03/10/juicy-prawns-omelette/ [...]
Divina on March 10th, 2010
I love omelette that has cheese on it. But prawns or shrimps are always welcome maybe with some feta cheese.
