Panko Crusted Baked Shrimp w/ Mac and Cheese

Dinner Tonight: Panko Crusted Baked Shrimp w/ Mac and Cheese

Started with a Breakfast of Turkey Goetta and Hash Brown Skillet! I love using Goetta in any Breakfast Dish. It was a little bit hotter and more humid out today. Still working on cleaning out the shed and worked on the computer today. Had to purchase a new mouse for the computer, the old one kept conking out on me. For dinner tonight I prepared Panko Crusted Baked Shrimp w/ Mac and Cheese.






I found the Shrimp recipe on the back of a box of Shake and Bake Panko Bread Crumbs. I'm a Shrimp lover so why not make as healthy as you can. Baking over frying, to save on those calories and carbs. I needed the following to prepare the Shrimp; 16 oz jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined), sea salt and pepper to taste, 1/4 cup egg substitute (Egg Beaters), 1 packet of Shake and Bake Panko Bread Crumbs, 1 tbsp Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese, and Pam Cooking Spray. The original recipe didn't call for the Parm Cheese, I added that.





To prepare start by preheating the oven to 400°. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Put the egg beaters in one bowl, and the breadcrumbs, panko and Parmesan cheese in another bowl. Wash and dry the shrimp. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then put a few at a time in the bowl with the egg beaters to coat. Put a few pieces of shrimp at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on a baking sheet. Spray the top of the shrimp with baking spray then bake in the middle rack for about 6-7 minutes. Turn shrimp over then cook another 3 minutes or until cooked though. Remove from oven and serve right away. These Shrimp are the bomb! You have that delicious taste of the Shrimp, the tangy sharpness of the Parm Cheese and the crunch of the Panko. Another one of those keeper recipes! For a side I prepared a Microwavable Bowl of Kraft Cheese and Shells, made with 2% Milk. For dessert later a bowl of Breyer's Carb  Chocolate Ice Cream.
