Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbly.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the edges start to set but the center remains slightly runny.
- On one half of the omelette, layer the sliced avocado, cooked shrimp, and shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top of the filling.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the omelette is cooked through.
- Gently slide the omelette onto a plate. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired.
- Serve hot and savor the delectable combination of flavors!
Tips
- For a spicier kick, consider adding diced jalapeños to the filling or a dash of hot sauce on top.
- You can substitute shrimp with cooked crab or lobster for a luxurious twist.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice over the avocado for a zesty finish.
