Ingredients

• 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 units Eggs, beaten
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned)
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 cup Marinara sauce
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 4

Coat each shrimp in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded shrimp in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 6

Spread half of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the fried shrimp on top in a single layer.

Step 7

Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the shrimp and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with pasta, garlic bread, or a simple green salad.
