Baked

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees and coat a large baking sheet with a nonstick cooking spray.

  • On a large plate, mix together panko crumbs, salt, old bay seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. On another large plate, add flour. 
  • Using a fork, dredge shrimp in the flour, then place shrimp 1 at a time into the egg, then into the panko mixture. Press the shrimp into the panko to make sure they are well coated. Then Place the shrimp on your prepared baking sheet.
  •  Bake for 8-12 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and coating is golden brown, turning once.
  • Once the shrimp are done cooking, place in a crusty french baguette with tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, mayo, and hot sauce. 

Air Fryer
