Instructions

Creating these Crispy Baked Shrimp is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps for delicious results:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry using paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry for maximum crispiness.
3. Prepare the Breading Station:
– In one bowl, beat the eggs.
– In a second bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.
4. Coat the Shrimp: Dip each shrimp into the beaten eggs, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Press lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching for even cooking.
6. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray or drizzle the shrimp with olive oil to enhance browning and crispiness.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the coating is golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through baking for even cooking.
8. Serve: Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

By following these steps, you will have perfectly crispy baked shrimp ready to delight everyone at your table!
