Orange Shrimp, an easy and quick appetizer. An elegant fish dish, very fragrant and perfect to impress with simplicity.
The secret of this recipe lies in the citrus note of the orange and the crunchiness of the breading, which make every bite irresistible.
They can also be served as a light main course, ideal when you want something tasty but not demanding. Also try the baked shrimps and zucchini or the shrimp skewers. The preparation requires very few steps, and you can use either fresh shrimp, asking at the fish market to clean them, or use frozen ones, making it even easier and quicker to bring them to the table. I hope you like this refined, practical, and irresistibly fragrant idea! Let me know in the comments, and if you want, follow me on my Facebook and Instagram pages for my latest updates!
