Freddie is a type of individuals who can open a cabinet or fridge, stare at the whole lot for a minute, and work out a scrumptious meal to make with no matter he finds. Are you an identical? It all the time impresses me, and I like to sit down on the counter, do the New Yorker crossword puzzle, and watch him in motion.
This summer season, 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 referred to as Freddie this morning, and he informed me the steps. Right here goes:
Baked Shrimp
by Freddie
“My dad is a superb cook dinner, and one factor I’ve discovered from him is the best way to make a number of programs at residence 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 home made sauce — that’s some extent of delight. (No matter what sort of noodle it’s — normally penne or ziti — we name it ‘macaroni.’) For this particular dinner, I used to be making an attempt to make one thing simple, so I may hang around with my mother and father and Joanna. Sliding a giant 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

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’ll be able to salt and pepper the flour, too, should you’d like; Gordon Ramsay seasons virtually each layer with salt and pepper; it looks as if such a small factor however it actually helps the ultimate product), egg wash, and panko bread crumbs (seasoned, should you’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. Prepare the shrimp in a single layer on the foil. Then drizzle a bit oil on high of the shrimp.
