Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb shrimp or 1 lb scallops, depending on preference
4 garlic cloves
1/4 cup olive oil (plus more for taste)
16 ounces fresh mozzarella balls
4 cups Italian style breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • 1. Start by cleaning shrimp if they are not already cleaned (de-vaining, removing tails).
  • 2. Brown garlic in the olive oil.
  • 3. Line the bottom of a baking sheet with breadcrumbs.
  • 4. Put down a layer of shrimp, covering the the bread crumbs. The shrimp don't need to be perfectly lined up, but there should be more shrimp than breadcrumbs.
  • 5. Liberally apply breadcrumbs to the top of shrimp so that they are fully submerged. You shouldn't have too much excess, but enough that the shrimp are barely visible.
  • 6. Spoon browned garlic and oil over the top breadcrumb layer. The crumbs don't need to be soaking, but the oil should be evenly spread over the shrimp and crumbs.
  • 7. Repeat by layering more shrimp, more breadcrumbs, and more oil.
  • 8. Place think slices of mozarella over the top layer, and place into an oven preheated to 350.
  • 9. Bake until cheese is fully melted and amber in color.
