Description
Delightful crispy baked shrimp made with panko breadcrumbs for a healthier, crunchy alternative to frying.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika

- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Cooking oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Set up a breading station: Place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko mixture in separate shallow bowls.
- Dredge each shrimp in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Dip the floured shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing excess egg to drip off.
- Coat the shrimp in the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.

- Lightly spray the shrimp with cooking oil spray.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes
Use quality panko breadcrumbs for a lighter texture. Optional Parmesan adds flavor. Avoid overcrowding shrimp on the baking sheet.
