Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb large shrimp (16–20 count), peeled and deveined
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp water
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1/2 cup warm marinara sauce or garlic aioli
- Low-moisture mozzarella cheese, sliced
- Chopped parsley for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack.
- In one bowl, mix panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs and water.
- Dip each shrimp in the egg mixture, then coat them in the panko mixture, and place on the wire rack.
- Bake the shrimp for 8–10 minutes until they are opaque and pink.
- Top each shrimp with a slice of mozzarella and broil for 1–2 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Toast the hoagie rolls and spread with warm marinara or garlic aioli.
- Layer the shrimp in the rolls, sprinkle with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
Make sure to dry the shrimp thoroughly before breading to ensure the panko sticks well. Use a wire rack to get the best crispiness without excess oil.
