Oven Fried Shrimp

Oven Fried Shrimp – make super crispy shrimp that is baked, not fried, so it is actually good for you! This is batter “fried” shrimp your family is going to love and is really easy to make.

If my family had their way we would probably have seafood 4 nights a week.  They would vary the type and the way it was cooked, but the more seafood the better as far as they are concerned.  I on the other hand aren’t a big fan.  I really enjoy shrimp, but that is kind of where it ends.  My favorite is breaded and deep fried shrimp, but that isn’t exactly a healthy or easy option for home.  So this oven fried shrimp recipe is my go to!

Shrimp is such a low calorie food, I love adding it to the menu when we are trying to eat a little better.  It feels like we are getting a treat, but I know it is actually good for us.  Crispy Baked Shrimp is another favorite that is made quite often around here.  

Do you remember Shake n’ Bake as a kid?  I used to love that stuff!  Well I am using a very similar method to make “breading” these shrimp super fast and easy with not a lot of mess!  You can use bowls for the flour and breading mixture, but then you are dipping each shrimp and it takes longer.  Plus your fingers get coated in flour and it is kind of a mess.

How to Make Oven Fried Shrimp

  1. Set up your “Breading” Station: Mix the panko breadcrumbs and the seasoning together in a plastic storage bag.  Have the flour in a separate bag. And mix beat the egg with the water in a small bowl.
  2. Add the shrimp to the bag of flour and shake until they are all coated.  
  3. Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture and add to the bag of breadcrumbs.  
  4. Once all the shrimp are in the breadcrumb bag, shake until they are well coated.  
  5. Place the shrimp on a baking sheet that has been brushed with olive oil.  
  6. Bake until done and crispy.  Flip the shrimp part way through so both sides get nice and crispy. 
  7. Serve with cocktail sauce or whatever your favorite dipping sauce is.

I liked the crispness of the shrimp coating, but after following the recipe as written, the flavor or the taste from the basil and the oregano was strong to my own taste buds. I would prefer using a basic seasoning blend containing ( Garlic, Onion Powder, Salt & Pepper, etc.)
