Here’s a fabulous alternative to battered and deep-fried shrimp. Coating the shrimp with panko breadcrumbs, spraying with cooking spray and then baking give this appetizer a wonderful crunch without all the saturated fat and calories of deep-frying. —Cher Schwartz, Ellisville, Missouri

wonderful. Tasty and crispy. Used all purpose seasoning, Italian seasoned panko crumbs (was all I could find at the store) and regular cooking spray.

My DD was making sushi/California rolls for dinner & I thought we needed something else. This filled the niche. I forgot to spray them, but they were still tasty! :)

These were really good! I bought shrimp that were already cooked and then frozen and shortened the cooking time to 5 minutes but still turned out great!

This has become a famliy favorite and this includes my selective daughter who is not a shrimp fan. It is easy to make. I go to a local fish market and get fresh shrimp and serve with long grain rice. In fact I am going to head out to the market so we can have this for dinner. (Leftovers warm up great for a next day lunch.)

These really help satisfy that "something crispy and fried" craving but for way less guilt. My family loved them.
