- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Cooking spray or olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the breadcrumb mixture by combining breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat dry, and beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
- Dip each shrimp in the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off before coating with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange the coated shrimp on a baking tray, spray or drizzle with olive oil, and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes until crispy.
