Ingredients

• 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tbsp Water
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment paper with cooking spray to ensure the shrimp don’t stick.

Step 2

Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and water to create an egg wash. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pat the shrimp dry using paper towels. This step helps the breading stick better.

Step 4

Dredge each shrimp in the flour, ensuring a light, even coating. Shake off any excess flour and dip the shrimp into the egg wash, fully coating it.

Step 5

Transfer the shrimp to the breadcrumb mixture and press gently to adhere the coating to the shrimp. Ensure that each shrimp is fully covered with the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 6

Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching for even cooking.

Step 7

Lightly spray the tops of the shrimp with cooking spray. This helps the breadcrumb coating crisp up in the oven.

Step 8

Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The shrimp should be opaque and have an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the shrimp from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as cocktail sauce or a tartar sauce, and enjoy!
