How to Prepare Breaded Shrimp and Zucchini
Clean the shrimp: first remove the head, legs, and shell. Gently cut along the back and pull out the black intestinal vein. Rinse them under running water. Let them drain on paper towels.
Wash the zucchini. Trim the ends and cut them into small cubes. Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them into 4 parts. Place the shrimp, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes in a bowl.
Prepare the breadcrumb coating by mixing breadcrumbs with herbs, a pinch of salt, and finely chopped garlic in a bowl. Add 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil and mix well using 2 spoons to coat all the ingredients.
Add the breadcrumb coating and mix well. Transfer to an oiled baking dish or a dish lined with parchment paper. Cook the Breaded Zucchini and Shrimp in a preheated oven at 375°F in convection mode or 400°F in static mode for 14-15 minutes.
