instructions
    1

    Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

    2

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

    3

    Once the oil is hot, add one diced onion and one diced bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they're soft.

    4

    Next, add the 150 grams of spinach to the skillet, cooking until it wilts, which should take just a minute or so.

    5

    Now, add the shrimp (300 grams) to the skillet. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes until they're pink and opaque.

    6

    In a separate bowl, crack 6 eggs, season with one teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of black pepper, and whisk until well combined.

    7

    Combine the shrimp and vegetable mixture with the eggs and add 50 grams of grated parmesan cheese.

    8

    Pour the mixture back into the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.

    9

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the frittata is fully set in the middle.

    10

    Once cooked, allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges and serving warm.

How to be creative
  • Add feta cheese or goat cheese for a tangy flavor.
  • Incorporate some herbs like basil or parsley for fresh aromas.
  • Experiment with different vegetables like zucchini or asparagus for added crunch.
Important Tips
  • Ensure your shrimp are well-prepped and deveined.
  • Don’t rush the cooking of the onions and bell pepper; a little caramelization adds depth to the flavor.
