Cádiz has been the birthplace of many icons of our culture. In gastronomic matters, the province of Cadiz has created two famous Spanish recipes: the French omelette and the shrimp omelette.
Shrimp omelette
The shrimp omelette arises from two main ingredients that define Cádiz so much. On the one hand, the tortilla that calmed the hunger of the people of Cadiz in times of war and misery. On the other hand we have shrimp. Shrimp from Cádiz are not like those from other areas, more similar to prawns. We are talking about shrimp of no more than 1 or 2 cm.
With these two ingredients, a gastronomic gem is created that is served as an indigenous tapa from southern Spain.
In some houses they serve it softer, with more mass. However, purist canons dictate that it should be served as thinly as possible.
