Shrimp and Breading

Method

Preparing the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese in the third bowl.

  2. 2

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp first into the flour, coating it lightly, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.

Cooking the Shrimp

  1. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded shrimp in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Making the Sauce

  1. 4

    Sauté Garlic

    In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes, and stir in the dried oregano and dried basil. Let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 6

    Layer the Shrimp

    In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the sauce. Place the fried shrimp on top and then cover with the remaining sauce.

  2. 7

    Add Cheese and Bake

    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
