Ingredient Notes

For this recipe, you’ll need rice paper (1 cup), eggs (2 tablespoons), cooked shrimp (1 pound), and fresh herbs like cilantro or mint (1/2 cup). Rice paper can be found in Asian grocery stores or the international aisle of your supermarket. If shrimp isn’t your thing, feel free to use cooked chicken or tofu. Fresh herbs can be substituted with spinach or green onions for different flavors.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Whisk together the eggs in a bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of oil. Pour in half of the egg mixture, tilting the pan to distribute evenly.
  3. Once the edges start to set, add a few shrimp and a sprinkle of fresh herbs to one half of the omelette. Fold it over and cook for another minute.
  4. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients for a second omelette. Serve warm with a side of chili sauce or soy sauce.

Things I’ve Learned

When preparing this dish, ensure the rice paper is not over-soaked to avoid tearing. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat. You can make the filling ahead of time, allowing you to assemble and cook the omelettes quickly when you’re ready to serve. Experiment with different fillings to keep brunch exciting!
