Healthy Breaded Shrimp

I'm back!

A few of you have been asking me why I haven't been blogging... well friends, school is why.  But on a happy note- I have a month of freedom from school!  So I plan to make a few posts in that time. (Beware: the middle of January I will most likely disappear again).

As you can probably tell from some of my previous posts, I love Gina's Skinny Recipes.  I try hers out more than anyone's and this post is from a recipe of hers (found here).

What you need:

• 16 oz jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 egg, whisked
• 6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp panko
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• Cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450°. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Put the egg in one bowl, and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another.

Wash and dry the shrimp. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then put a few at a time in the bowl with the egg to coat.

Put a few pieces of shrimp at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on a baking sheet. Once all the shrimp is breaded, if you still have crumbs left, re-dip the shrimp back into the egg beaters and then back into crumbs and back onto the baking sheet.

Spray the top of the shrimp generously with baking spray then bake in the middle rack for about 6-7 minutes. Turn shrimp over then cook another 3 minutes or until cooked though. Remove from oven and serve right away with lemon wedges.
