Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and set it aside.
Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Fill the first bowl with flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs and water together. In the third bowl, mix breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each shrimp in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, then coat it with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Repeat with all shrimp and set them aside on a plate.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Work in batches, frying the breaded shrimp 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Add the remaining olive oil as needed for subsequent batches. Transfer the fried shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the fried shrimp over the sauce in a single layer.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the shrimp. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Shrimp Parmesan with pasta, salad, or crusty bread.
