Description

Indulge in the luxurious flavors of this classic French-inspired Omelette Aux Crevettes. This dish combines tender, seasoned shrimp with a velvety cream of mushroom base, creating a comforting and sophisticated breakfast or brunch experience. The addition of a rich, simmered sauce infused with tomato, sherry, and Worcestershire adds a depth of flavor that elevates simple eggs into a gourmet meal. Perfect for a leisurely weekend morning or a special treat, this omelette is both quick to prepare and deeply satisfying. The contrast between the fluffy, buttery egg and the savory, umami-rich filling makes it a standout choice for seafood lovers.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Chop half of the boiled shrimp into smaller pieces if they are large; set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk 4 eggs until smooth and evenly yellow.
  3. Stir half of the chopped shrimp into the whisked eggs, along with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine the cream of mushroom soup, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sherry, and the remaining half of the chopped shrimp.
  5. Heat the sauce mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it simmers gently. Keep warm off the heat while preparing the omelets.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
  7. Once the butter is sizzling, pour in the first batch of egg and shrimp mixture.
  8. Cook, shaking the pan and lifting the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly moist.
  9. Transfer the omelet to a preheated oven to finish cooking gently, or fold it in half in the pan and cover briefly to firm up.
  10. Repeat the process with the remaining 4 eggs and shrimp mixture for the second omelet.
  11. Place omelets on serving plates, add a pat of butter on top, and serve immediately with the warm shrimp sauce on the side or spooned over.
