Ingredients

  • 1 pound raw shrimp Peeled and deveined.
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg Beaten. You may need an additional egg depending on the size of your shrimp.
  • 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • cooking oil I use olive oil.

Instructions

  • Set up a cooking station with 3 separate bowls large enough to dip the shrimp. Add flour to one bowl and the beaten egg to another.
  • In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl large enough to dip the shrimp. Stir to combine.
  • Dip the shrimp in the flour, then the egg, and then the breadcrumbs mixture.

Air Fryer Instructions

  • Place the shrimp in the air fryer. Spray the top of the shrimp with cooking oil.
  • Cook for 5 minutes on 400 degrees.
  • Open the air fryer and flip the shrimp. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until crisp.
  • Top each of the shrimp with marinara sauce and then the shredded mozzarella. Air fry for an additional 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
    (Alternatively, you can air fry the breaded shrimp to get them crispy and when finished, add marinara sauce to the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Top the sauce with the shrimp and mozzarella. Broil for 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted.)

Oven Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Spread the marinara sauce throughout the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Top the sauce with the breaded shrimp. Spray the top of the shrimp with cooking oil.
  • Bake for 7 minutes. Open the oven and flip the shrimp and top it with mozzarella. Bake until the cheese has melted and the shrimp is cooked through.

Notes

  • Most Italian Seasoning has garlic flavor. Feel free to add garlic powder (adjust to taste) if you wish.
  • You can use standard breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs. Either will work in this recipe. To give the shrimp an Italian seasoned flavor, you can use Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs or add a teaspoon of Italian Seasoning to your breadcrumbs.
  • Use your judgment for cook time. I like for my shrimp to be extra crispy, so I keep a close watch and continue cooking until crisp.
