I've been making shrimp omelets that turn out great! Plus, it's pretty easy once you know the tricks.
1 tsp chopped parsley
1 Tb diced Green onions
1 tsp Fresh Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup Shrimp/Crawfish leftover from a boil - diced fairly fine (I'll add a little more seasoning)
3 to 4 sliced button mushrooms
3 eggs (pureed in a blender - necessary to aerate and make light/fluffy)
Butter
Fresh black pepper
Slice and briefly saute the mushrooms in a little pat of butter in a small pan.
Add some extra cajun seasoning to your shrimp/crawfish unless they're already very spicy.
Get a large non-stick skillet moderately hot and add a little butter.
In a blender, puree the eggs vigorously till they're frothy.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, stir gently once with a wooden spoon/spatula.
IMPORTANT - turn the heat down to low, you don't want to overcook the eggs.
If eggs are pooling in the center, lift skillet up, tilt/rotate to let eggs run around the edges.
Avoid stirring the eggs - as this makes them less tender.
When eggs are about halfway done, add mushrooms, shrimp, onion, parsley, parmesan.
Carefully fold over in half, let cook for a bit, then flip completely and finish out.
Add salt/pepper as needed.
Enjoy.
I'm trying to come up with a good sauce/topping for this. Maybe a creamcheese/dill topping. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Maybe a crabmeat/cheese topping.
