🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs, beaten
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Season the shrimp with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.

2. Set up a breading station: place the flour in one shallow dish, the beaten eggs in a second dish, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan in a third dish.

3. Coat each shrimp in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly. Repeat for all shrimp and set aside.

4. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the breaded shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more olive oil as needed for subsequent batches. Transfer cooked shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels.

5. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

6. Stir in the cannellini beans, chicken or vegetable broth, lemon juice, and the remaining salt and pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until heated through.

7. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley, reserving a bit for garnish.

8. Plate the cannellini beans as a base and top with the crispy breaded shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
