Shrimp Parmesan Hero, Lightened Up
This Shrimp Parmesan Hero takes a healthier twist by opting to bake the shrimp rather than frying them. I also enjoy hollowing out a bit of the bread, which adds to the deliciousness!

Ingredients
- 16 oz jumbo shrimp
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
- olive oil spray
- 1/2 cup Marinara or your homemade marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
- 12 ounces French bread
- 6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp panko crumbs
- 1/4 cup egg whites
Instructions
- 1
Begin by preparing the breaded shrimp (refer to the provided recipe for details).
- 2
Preheat your oven to 425°F or adjust your broiler to a low setting. Hollow out the center of the bread to create a longer sandwich, ensuring that each piece weighs 3 ounces after hollowing.
- 3
Once the shrimp are fully cooked, evenly distribute them across 4 pieces of the prepared bread.
- 4
Generously spoon marinara sauce over each sandwich and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- 5
Arrange the sandwiches on a baking sheet and place them in the oven or under the broiler until the cheese is melted; this should take about 2 to 3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning if using the broiler.
