Ritzy Shrimp
Your new favorite oven-baked shrimp!
Servings: 2 generous main dish servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb. extra large or jumbo raw shrimp
- ½ cup full fat buttermilk
- a few shakes of hot sauce, OR a teaspoon of Old Bay or Creole seasoning, OR a dash of Zatarain's Liquid Crab and Shrimp Boil
- 1 sleeve Ritz® or other buttery crackers, finely crushed
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Peel and devein shrimp if needed. Leave tails on or remove them as you prefer.
- Preheat the oven to 400°. Spray a sheet pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add shrimp. Pour half of the cracker crumbs in another bowl. Working with a few shrimp at a time, allow any extra buttermilk to drip off then roll the shrimp in the cracker crumbs. When the crumbs are gone--and you still have naked shrimp--repeat with the other half of the crumbs.
- Place shrimp in a single layer on the sheet pan with some space between. Spray the breaded shrimp lightly with cooking spray. Bake 10-12 minutes until the crumbs are brown and crispy.
- Serve shrimp hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
