  • Make sure to use peeled shrimp to avoid any unwanted texture or flavor.
  • If you don't have garlic prawns, you can also use regular prawns and season them with garlic powder or garlic salt.

  • Substitute shrimp for diced chicken: This substitution is beneficial for those who prefer white meat or are looking for a leaner protein option. The thinking behind this substitution is that the diced chicken will provide a similar texture and flavor to the shrimp, while still providing a protein-rich meal.
  • Substitute olive oil for butter: This substitution is beneficial for those who prefer a lighter oil or are looking for a healthier option. The thinking behind this substitution is that the butter will provide a richer flavor, while still providing a delicious omelette.
