Once You Get Started

Baked Breaded Shrimp

Sometimes a simple toasted buttered white rice is heavenly and I hope I remember how I achieved this one because I find myself making it different each time.  I do however recall getting the idea to bread the shrimp and bake them in order to make them more substantial.  I did achieve a nice crunch (thanks lovefoodies.com!) while not over cooking the delicate shrimp.  I commend Mary's site for giving you the tools to create your own preparation.  She laid out the basic prep and that's all we usually need to get us off the ground.  I definitely suggest seasoning the shrimp before dipping in well-seasoned Panko crumbs.  Something happens during baking, meaning, the flavors mellow quite a bit.  To the recipe I added cayenne, Parmesan, red pepper flakes, garlic and smoked Paprika along with salt and pepper.
