Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Set up the breading station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese in the third.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bread the shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded shrimp on a baking sheet.

  2. 4

    Fry the shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded shrimp in batches and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  3. 5

    Make the tomato sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Layer the shrimp

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread a layer of the tomato sauce, then arrange the fried shrimp on top. Pour more sauce over the shrimp.

  2. 7

    Add cheese

    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the shrimp and sauce.

  3. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  4. 9

    Garnish and serve

    Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve hot.
