Ingredients
-
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
-
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
2 large eggs, beaten
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
-
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix.
-
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well mixed.
-
Dip each shrimp into the eggs, then coat them in the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the shrimp to ensure a thorough coating.
-
Arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the shrimp.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. The shrimp should be opaque and cooked through.
-
Remove from the oven, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
-
For a healthier version, you can use a light spray of olive oil instead of drizzling it.
-
You can substitute the Parmesan cheese with other hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano or a dairy-free alternative.
-
These shrimp are best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain their crispiness.
