This Shrimp Parmigiana Hero is lightened up by baking the shrimp instead of frying. I also like to scoop out some of the bread, it's delish!
Ingredients
- 16 oz jumbo shrimp
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup egg whites, or whole eggs, beaten
- 6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, or gluten free crumbs
- 2 tbsp panko crumbs, or gluten free panko
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
- olive oil spray
- 1/2 cup Marinara or your homemade marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese, 4 oz
- 12 ounces French bread, sliced into 4 pieces
Directions
- Start with the breaded shrimp (see recipe for directions).
- Preheat oven to 425F or set your broiler to low. Scoop out the inside of the bread to make a longer hero, making sure after its scooped each piece is 3 oz.
- When shrimp is cooked, divide shrimp equally between 4 pieces of bread.
- Top each sandwich with marinara and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Place sandwiches on a sheet pan and heat in the oven or broiler until the cheese melts; 2 – 3 minutes, careful not to burn if using the broiler.
