- Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crisp)
- Garlic powder, salt, and pepper
- Eggs (for dredging)
- Baby potatoes (halved or quartered)
- Olive oil
- Fresh or dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley)
- Lemon (for zest and wedges)
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake potatoes for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
- Meanwhile, whisk eggs in one shallow bowl. In another bowl, combine Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
- Dip each shrimp into the egg, then coat thoroughly with the Parmesan mixture. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake alongside the potatoes for about 10–12 minutes, until shrimp are cooked through and crust is light golden.
- Let everything rest for a minute, then serve the shrimp and potatoes together with lemon wedges.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add cayenne or smoked paprika to the shrimp crust.
- Swap rosemary for dill or tarragon for a fresh twist in the potatoes.
- For a gluten-free version, replace breadcrumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers or almond flour.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar on the potatoes in the last 5 minutes for cheesy potatoes.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes.
