Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and are almost cooked through. Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the scallions, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Return the skillet to medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once the butter is melted and shimmering, pour in half of the egg mixture. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges begin to set.

Gently push the cooked edges towards the center of the skillet with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process until most of the egg is set but still slightly moist on top.

Spoon half of the cooked prawn mixture over one half of the omelette. Sprinkle with half of the chopped fresh parsley and half of the green parts of the scallions. Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
