Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
In a third shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese.
Coat each shrimp by dredging it first in the flour mixture, then dipping it in the egg mixture, and finally pressing it into the breadcrumb mixture. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, fry the coated shrimp until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer cooked shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the fried shrimp on top of the sauce in an even layer.
Spoon the remaining 1 cup of marinara sauce over the shrimp. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
