Crunchy and sweet healthy-ish fried shrimp all done on a sheet pan!
Perception is everything! Sometimes we perceive something in life to be hard but in reality it is so easy! These judgments can hold us back from our dreams and fun in life. Next time you perceive something hard. Take a step back, try it, and see what happens. This happens to me with working out. I was so scared of Barry’s Bootcamp. I thought it was too hard for me and that I would not be able to keep up. But thankfully I was wrong. It is now my Sunday morning tradition that I look forward to all week. It brings me such joy! I walk the quite streets of Chelsea feeling so excited to work out. What is a goal or a dream you perceive impossible or hard? Take a step and try to do it. It may be the best thing you did and could add sunshine to your day!
This recipe is the perfect culinary example of something I thought was hard to do. I believed it would be challenging to get a crunchy thick crust on shrimp that was baked in the oven. Thankfully I was wrong! I am so glad I tried because this recipe is so easy, crunchy and takes only 15 minutes total! Honestly I prefer these shrimp over the fried kind. Also, its healthier so I can eat the whole sheet tray lol! Not sure if that how it works but this food math works for me lol! I have made this for dinner with fries, as fried shrimp cocktail appetizers, and as topper for a salad. So fun and my new busy day go too!
Recipe Hack / Cooking Tips:
- Season everything! I salt and pepper the shrimp. Also I season the flour, egg, and crackers with oregano garlic powder salt and pepper. This makes every bite flavorful throughout.
- Spray oil! Using a spray can evenly distributes the oil and allows every bite to get crispy golden brown. I am obsessed with avocado oil spray!
