Freddie is a kind of individuals who can open a cabinet or fridge, stare at every little thing for a minute, and determine a scrumptious meal to make with no matter he finds. Are you a similar? It all the time impresses me, and I really like to take a seat on the counter, do the New Yorker crossword puzzle, and watch him in motion.
This summer time, one of many meals he whipped up was spaghetti with tomato sauce, a inexperienced salad, and baked shrimp. Just a few readers requested in regards to the shrimp, so I known as Freddie this morning, and he informed me the steps. Right here goes:
Baked Shrimp
by Freddie
“My dad is a good cook dinner, and one factor I’ve discovered from him is make a number of programs at house and make it really feel particular. In our Italian-American household, macaroni is all the time a part of the meal, all the time with a do-it-yourself sauce — that’s a degree of satisfaction. (No matter what sort of noodle it’s — normally penne or ziti — we name it ‘macaroni.’) For this particular dinner, I used to be attempting to make one thing simple, so I may hang around with my mother and father and Joanna. Sliding an enormous tray of shrimp into the oven was a great way to do this.”
You’ll want:
bag of frozen, pre-cooked shrimp
flour
salt
pepper
eggs
panko bread crumbs
spices, like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder (non-obligatory)
olive oil
lemon
Non-recipe recipe:
Preheat oven to 350F. Defrost the shrimp. Pull off the tails (in the event that they nonetheless have tails) and pat dry.
Set out your customary three plates: flour (you may salt and pepper the flour, too, for those who’d like; Gordon Ramsay seasons virtually each layer with salt and pepper; it looks like such a small factor but it surely actually helps the ultimate product), egg wash, and panko bread crumbs (seasoned, for those who’d like, with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper). Gently coat every shrimp in flour, then egg; then press the shrimp into the bread crumbs.
Put tin foil on a baking sheet and unfold a skinny layer of olive oil on high of the tin foil. Organize the shrimp in a single layer on the foil. Then drizzle a bit oil on high of the shrimp.

Serve with pasta with tomato sauce and inexperienced salad, for those who’d like. You possibly can eat the shrimp with the pasta or individually — breaded shrimp and pink sauce may be so, so good. Take pleasure in!
