Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 units Eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned)
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Coat each shrimp in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded shrimp in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Spread half of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the fried shrimp on top in a single layer.
Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the shrimp and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with pasta, garlic bread, or a simple green salad.
