Directions

  1. Pour oil into a pot and heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Combine paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme, marjoram, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne powder in a bowl. Mix 1 tablespoon of spice mixture with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl. Mix remaining spices with flour in a third bowl.

  3. Beat eggs and water together in a bowl.

  4. Dip each shrimp in flour mixture, then in egg mixture, and then in bread crumbs and place on a plate.

  5. Fry shrimp in hot oil until they float and turn golden brown, about 1 minute. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

  6. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  7. Pour tomato sauce into an 8-inch square casserole dish and top with fried shrimp, dipping them to coat with sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese.

  8. Broil in the preheated oven until cheese starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.

Recipe Note

Lightly breaded and fried shrimp are tossed in marinara sauce and baked with a cheese crust. Surprisingly, this does not taste oily at all. Very good flavor, nice and light. Serve over angel hair pasta with a tossed salad on the side. The red pepper sauce pairs well with the shrimp, but you can use your favorite marinara.
