Steps:
- Preheat oven to broil.
- In frying pan, heat a little oil over medium heat and add the tomato and green onion. Season with salt and pepper. Heat for around 3 minutes, until tomatoes are starting to break down. Add the shrimp and red pepper flakes. Mix well to coat in tomatoes, and cook for just a minute to warm through.
- Heat a broiler-safe frying pan over medium heat. Add a little olive oil, and when hot, pour in half the beaten eggs, seasoning them well with salt and pepper first. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the underside of the egg is beginning to set but the top remains runny.
- Sprinkle the oregano over the omelette, then pour half the tomato and shrimp mixture over the top, making sure the shrimp are in an even layer. Crumble over the feta cheese, season with salt and pepper, and add a drizzle of oil.
- Place the omelette under the hot broiler, and broil for 3-4 minutes until the egg is just cooked through. Remove, serve, and enjoy.

SHRIMP, FETA, AND ESPELETTE PEPPER PASTA
My best French friend Cecile introduced me to Espelette pepper powder and I can't get enough of it! It's a red pepper powder from French commune of Espelette that is mildly spicy and full of flavor. This pasta dish combines Espelette pepper with shrimp and feta and the three ingredients work together beautifully. I like to call this dish Les Pates de Cecile (Cecile's Pasta). For additional flavor and a nice presentation, you can crumble some additional feta over each serving and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.

SHRIMP AND SPINACH OMELET
Ok, folding over an omelet, French-style, isn't easy and for the longest time, I wouldn't try it. But, really, I found it's pretty simple once you try a few times. Now, I do it daily. Also, don't be fooled by restaurants who offer 3-egg omelets: in the average, 9" pan, that many eggs will result in an omelet too thick to easily fold over the ingredients. Stick with two eggs, and you'll fare better.

Steps:
- Using a non-stick, 9" skillet or omelet pan, heat the oil over medium-low heat and add the minced garlic.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, skim milk, and thyme. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of fresh, black pepper.
- When the garlic is just barely browning on the edges, pour the egg mixture into the skillet and, tilting it slightly or stirring, slosh it around so it covers all the garlic and the bottom of the pan.
- Keep an eye on the omelet as the eggs stiffen. When the bottom of the eggs are fairly solid but there is still a good amount of liquid eggs on top, sprinkle the feta cheese over the eggs.
- Continue cooking for about 2-3 more minutes and , then, make a thin line of shrimp about one-third of the way across the eggs. On top of that, sprinkle the finely chopped spinach in a row (reserving a pinch for garnish).
- With a slender spatula (or turner), loosen the edges of the eggs from the skillet. Then, slide the spatula under the third of the omelet that has the shrimp and spinach on it. Fold the eggs over the ingredients towards the center of the omelet and hold, there, for just a few moments.
- Over the serving plate, slide the omelet out -unfolded side first- and roll the already folded section over the flatter portion. You may have to do this several times on subsequent attempts to get the hang of it.
- Sprinkle the top of the omelet with the reserved spinach and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your omelette.
- Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeaten eggs will make your omelette tough.
- Cook the omelette slowly over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Be careful not to overcook the omelette. An overcooked omelette will be dry and rubbery.
- Season the omelette to taste. You can use salt, pepper, herbs, and spices to flavor your omelette.
- Serve the omelette immediately. It's best to enjoy an omelette hot out of the pan.
Conclusion:
The shrimp and feta omelette is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. It's packed with protein and flavor, and it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and satisfying meal, give this omelette a try.
