California Shrimp Omelet

Traditional breakfast turned healthy dinner

CALIFORNIA-SHRIMP-OMELET-INSHP
If you’re familiar with the California omelet (or California roll, etc.), you’re probably aware that it must contain avocado. While the avocado is a fantastic, healthy fat, the other typical additions to this type of omelet such as bacon, cheese, etc., are not! So I decided to prepare this dish the healthy way by using egg substitute (or egg whites), shrimp versus bacon, low-fat cheese versus full-fat cheese, and using cooking spray versus butter to cook it. The addition of the tomatoes, green onion, herbs and spices round out this flavor-infused omelet. My California Shrimp Omelet is absolutely delicious and a fantastic way to have breakfast for dinner. Enjoy!

CALIFORNIA SHRIMP OMELET

Ingredients
4 jumbo shrimp
1/2 cup egg substitute (or whites)
1/4 ripe avocado, cut into small chunks
1/3 cup finely diced tomato
2 TB finely chopped green onion (scallions)
1 oz. low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp. minced garlic (or 1/4 tsp. garlic powder)
1 TB fresh parsley, finely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste

How to Prepare
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well with a fork in a forceful manner to break up and thoroughly combine egg mixture.
2. Coat a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray and place over medium heat.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Grab the handle of the pan and give it a shake to evenly distribute the omelet ingredients so it cooks evenly.
4. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until the omelet firms up. Once firm, fold over in half to form your omelet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then flip over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until outside is golden brown and shrimp are fully cooked and no longer translucent. Enjoy!
