I heart all kinds of omelette from all time American to Asia (because I adore eggs). Shrimp omelette is one of the Chinese omelettes I love the most especially in those street food catering stalls or Chinese restaurants in Malaysia.

This dish consists of an omelette with a filling primarily composed of luscious shrimps. Onions or scallions are sometimes added for an intense taste. In the past, pork lard was often used to fry the omelette to provide an extra fragrance but less and less people are using it these days due to health conscious.

It is a scrumptious and uncomplicated dish to prepare at home. Try it!

Ingredients:
4 eggs (beaten)
12 shrimps (peeled and deveined)
1 tbsp minced garlic

Marinade:
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp soy sauce

Seasoning:
1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1 dash of sesame oil
Few dashes of white pepper powder

Cooking method:

1. Mix the shrimps with marinade for few minutes.
2. Heat up 1 tbsp oil and sauté the garlic until aromatic. Add in shrimps and stir-fry until cooked. Dish up.
3. Mix the egg batter with seasoning and cooked shrimps.
4. Heat up 3 tbsp oil, pour in the mixture and fry until cooked.
5. Dish up and serve.
