These are fantastic eaten alone, with ketchup, or with a little cocktail sauce!
Ingredients3 ounces raw peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed
½ cup Fiber One bran cereal (original)
¼ cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the 411 on faux-frying with Fiber One, see page 113! |
DirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees.
Pour egg substitute into a bowl and set aside.
Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Pour crumbs into a plastic container that has an airtight lid (or into a sealable plastic bag). Add as much salt and black pepper as you like to the crumbs.
Make sure shrimp are as dry as possible (use a paper towel to soak up moisture). Place them in the dish with egg substitute and coat them thoroughly. Transfer shrimp to Fiber One container or bag and secure lid or seal bag. Then shake until shrimp are well coated.
Place shrimp on a baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Cook shrimp for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping them about halfway through, until outsides are crispy.
