Breaded Shrimp
Delicious and healthy baked breaded shrimp, without the added fat. Jumbo shrimp, coated with seasoned breadcrumbs, panko and grated cheese, then baked until golden.
Breaded Shrimp
Breaded ShrimpServe this with lemon wedges and you will have one happy family. You may want to make extra, because these shrimp disappear quickly!
Some of my favorite quick shrimp recipes I love to make are Air Fryer Fried Shrimp Sandwich with Tartar Sauce, One-Skillet Mexican Shrimp Diablo and Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps.
When making this recipe, I had a lot of extra bread crumbs left after I breaded the shrimp. So, I decided to double dip the shrimp into the egg mixture and breadcrumbs once again until I used them all up which gave the shrimp an extra coating and crispiness. I used whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs but you can also use gluten free breadcrumbs or Panko. You can serve this by itself with lemon wedges for a light meal or appetizer, over some leafy greens as a salad or with a side of veggies. Hope you enjoy !

- Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then put a few at a time in the bowl with the egg beaters 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.

Just made these guys in the air fryer and wow!!! All it needs is a nice healthy garlic butter and it’s perfectionÂ
The shrimp were fantastic! The family loved them. Instead of re-dipping the shrimp, I mixed the remaining egg & panko together & baked it in the corner of the pan with the shrimp.
I just made homemade marinara… I wonder how this would be if I combine this recipe with your bakes chicken parmesan recipe… replace the chicken for shrimp… baked shrimp parmesan….Â
 I just bought myself an air fryer after seeing all of the recipes you are remaking on here in the air fryer. Just made this shrimp recipe tonight in the air fryer and it turned out amazing. So crispy and delicious no oil needed.  I also made your Binging good shrimp sauce to go with it yummy. Thank you Gina for the  Air fryer remake recipes keep them coming..
Hi! What temperature and how long did you air fry? I was thinking of doing that tonight.
I just did the same thing without reading your comment. So good!!
I am making this for the first time tonight! Â I love “fried” shrimp but fried foods kill me! Â Am looking forward to this!
This was delicious. Â I only had panko bread crumbs so I used that in place of the whole wheat bread crumbs. Â Will this change the point value?
Is This Recipe And Cook Times For Cooked Shrimp Or Raw?
Made this dish tonight- delicious! Another winner, thank you!
Looks delicious!!! Would love this shrimp for dinner tonight. Thanks

I used the egg beater egg whites and I think the regular egg beaters would have helped the mixture stay on the shrimp better but it might have been just me. Other than that, the shrimp/breading mixture was great.
Do you think you can apply this recipe to a white fish like tilapia or filet of sole?
I made these for dinner tonight, and they were good! I wish I could've gotten them a little crispier, but I didn't want to overcook the shrimp. Will definately have these again.
These are great – I love your shrimp recipes! I made these tonight and we dipped them in cocktail sauce and had caesar salad on the side (your skinny caesar dressing), it was a great light dinner. I loved fried shrimp as a kid, but won't eat them now, so these were a great treat, they're just as good as fried shrimp!
We have made this at least a dozen times in my house and we love this recipe Gina! LOVE. It's a great alternative to fried shrimp (something we used to eat often before we became healthier eaters) and I prefer this version over fried now! It's great on french bread with lettuce and pickles "dressed" like a poboy! 🙂
Thanks for this one! I'm even listing this recipe in my meal plan monday post to share with others! 🙂
Awesome
I have cooked clean shrimp in freezer I was wondering the same thing….could we use cooked shrimp for this recipe? How would we adjust for that in the cooking?
Thanks
DEE
Could you do this with cooked shrimp? Any idea how long you would bake? I would imagine you could easily over bake.
No, it will overcook the shrimp
I just made this and had 16 oz shrimp (after cleaning) but had to use quite a bit more breadcrumb mixture…did I do something wrong? They were delicious but had a lot more points. haha (Chalked this one up to Weekly Points…no regrets!)
Instead of eggs, coat it with a little olive and lemon juice, then into the crumbs.
