Freddie is a type of individuals who can open a cabinet or fridge, stare at all the pieces for a minute, and work out a scrumptious meal to make with no matter he finds. Are you an identical? It at all times impresses me, and I like to take a seat 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. A number of 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 good prepare dinner, and one factor I’ve discovered from him is the right way to make a number of programs at house and make it really feel particular. In our Italian-American household, macaroni is at all times a part of the meal, at all times with a do-it-yourself sauce — that’s some extent of pleasure. (No matter what sort of noodle it’s — often penne or ziti — we name it ‘macaroni.’) For this particular dinner, I used to be attempting to make one thing straightforward, so I might hang around with my dad and mom and Joanna. Sliding a giant tray of shrimp into the oven was a great way to try this.”
You’ll want:
bag of frozen, pre-cooked shrimp

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 commonplace 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 like such a small factor nevertheless 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).
