Delicious and healthy baked breaded shrimp, coated with seasoned breadcrumbs, panko and grated cheese, then baked until golden.
Breaded Shrimp
Serve this with lemon wedges and you will have one happy family. You may want to make extra, because these shrimp disappear quickly! Some of my favorite quick shrimp recipes I love to make are Air Fryer Fried Shrimp Sandwich with Tartar Sauce, One-Skillet Mexican Shrimp Diablo and Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps.
When making this recipe, I had a lot of extra bread crumbs left after I breaded the shrimp. So, I decided to double dip the shrimp into the egg mixture and breadcrumbs once again until I used them all up which gave the shrimp an extra coating and crispiness. I used whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs but you can also use gluten free breadcrumbs or Panko.
How To Serve
You can make this a meal with lemon wedges with garden salad, or a side of roasted vegetableskins like asparagus or roasted green beans, or turn it into a Shrimp Parmesan Hero. Hope you enjoy !
