This simple shrimp omelette is a delicious, high-protein way to start the day. Featuring tender shrimp sautéed with green onions in savory soy sauce and rice wine vinegar, enclosed in a fluffy mixture of eggs and milk, this easy entrée is full of flavor and ready in no time at all.

What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • If you’re in need of a simple, delicious, nutritious meal that’s big on protein and low on carbs, then this is the recipe for you. This shrimp omelette combines tender shrimp with fluffy eggs, green onion, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar for a dish that’s full of flavor, all from just a handful of ingredients.
  • Omelettes are super quick, and this one’s no exception. Neither shrimp nor eggs take very long to cook, so this is a solid hot meal to literally throw together right before you rush out the door. You could technically make it advance and reheat it if you’re really short on time, but all of the components are best when they’re fresh.

Chef’s Tips

  • Since there aren’t many ingredients in this recipe, make sure the ingredients you use are really high-quality – especially the shrimp and the eggs. The quality will make a noticeable difference in the flavors in the dish!
  • You can use fresh or frozen shrimp in your omelette. If you’re using frozen shrimp, make sure they’re fully thawed before you start cooking. To make life (and this recipe) super easy, I like to use shrimp that have already been peeled and deveined. Less prep work for me to do!
  • Make sure you fold the omelette before the eggs are fully set. If you wait until they’re fully set, you’ll end up overcooking them, which could give you tough or rubbery eggs.
