Description
A baked dish featuring breaded shrimp topped with tomato sauce and cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil for frying
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. Place flour in the first dish. Whisk eggs in the second dish. Combine breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder in the third dish. Season the breadcrumb mixture with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each shrimp first in flour, shaking off excess. Dip the floured shrimp into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Coat the shrimp thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp in batches for about 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden brown. Do not fully cook them. Remove shrimp and place them on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the fried shrimp in a single layer over the sauce.
- Top each shrimp with more marinara sauce. Place a slice of mozzarella cheese over each shrimp. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the shrimp are cooked through.
Notes
- You can use store-bought marinara sauce for convenience.
- For crispier results, bake the breaded shrimp without pre-frying, increasing the baking time slightly.
