Shrimp Parmesan

Wednesday, December 8, 2010
This dish is called Shrimp Parmesan an easy fried shrimp that's then baked with marinara and topped with mozzarella served on a bed of your favorite pasta.

The steps are very simple and this dish is perfect for hosting a dinner party, especially for all those who love seafood.

Our Italian American dish is a terrific alternative on Christmas Eve as part of the Feast of 7 Fishes here in Florida where we had it for the first time in Key West.

Parmesan is a wonderful cheese, we use Parmesan Reggiano grated with this dish which makes it a star ingredient.

This recipe is so easy and comes together with just a few ingredients in less than 30 minutes!

  7. Hi Claudia-This is my kind of shrimp dish, with homemade marinara sauce on hand...never mind the "no cheese on seafood snobs"
    I'd like to know who made up this culinary rule?
    Yesterday, my daughter made the most delicious shrimp risotto with zucchini, peas, and saffron, and of course, added the parmigiano, and butter at the very end. Yummy!
    You never fail to disappoint with any amazing dish, or dessert you make!
    Congratulations on the Top 9!
