Shrimp Parmesan

By commercecook

The original recipe gave a recipe for the tomato sauce. I am using my own.

Ingredients

• For the shrimp:
• For the Mozzarella
• 1 cup panko crumbs
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 slices fresh mozzarella, about 1/4 inch thick
• Salt and pepper
• 10 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/3 cup dry white wine - I would substitute chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• Salt to taste
• Garnish: shredded Parmesan

Preparation

Step 1

Place panko, eggs and flour in three separate bowls. Season both sides of the cheese slices with salt and pepper. Dredge each slice of the cheese first in flour, then dip in egg, and then coat with panko. Dip cheese a second time in egg and panko to double coat.

Heat 1/4 cup oil in a nonstick skillet over high. Add breaded cheese and fry until golden, 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined place and keep warm. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon oil and return the pan to the burner.

Sauté shrimp, garlic and pepper flakes in oil for 1 minutes over medium high heat. Deglaze with wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minutes. Stir in parsley, lemon juice and salt. To serve, divide pasta between 2 plates. Top with pasta sauce. Top with fried cheese slices, then shrimp and sauce. Garnish with Parmesan.
