Chinese-Style Shrimp Omelet
Comments:	Although eggs, carrots and fresh shrimps are usually part of this dish, any other desired ingredients such as green peas or crabmeat can also be added. If cooked shrimps are used, they must be mixed in at the end off cooking, making sure that they are well mixed into the omelet, ane really hot. Over-cooked shrimps would be soft and loose their taste. Preparation time : 5 minutes Cooking time : 10 minutes
