Lightly breaded and fried shrimp are tossed in marinara sauce and baked with a cheese crust. Surprisingly, this does not taste oily at all. Very good flavor, nice and light. Serve over angel hair pasta with a tossed salad on the side. The red pepper sauce pairs well with the shrimp, but you can use your favorite marinara.

Ingredients

2 cups canola oil
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground thyme

1 tablespoon water
1 ½ pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 (32 ounce) jar roasted red pepper and garlic tomato sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

Pour oil into a pot and heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Pour tomato sauce into an 8-inch square casserole dish and top with fried shrimp, dipping them to coat with sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese.
Broil in the preheated oven until cheese starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
