The One With The Experimental Baked Shrimps

So last Sunday I decided that I wanted to cook shrimp curry.
Or at least TRY to . . .

I ended up being too lazy.

But I had the shrimps thawed.
So, instead of putting it back in the fridge, I decide to experiment on a new recipe.
"Oh, sure", I thought.
"Be too lazy to cook shrimp curry, but not lazy enough to do something totally weird."


So, here it is:

Ingredients:
Shrimps
1 tomato
1 potato
bread crumbs
1 egg
sea salt
olive oil
black pepper
2 tablespoon milk
cheese


Steps (as I did it):

To make the batter:
In a bowl, mix the eggs, bread crumbs, sea salt, black pepper, cheese and milk
(add more milk if texture is too thick)

Then add in the shrimp and mix well.

Let marinate for an hour or so.

Pre-heat oven
(like I would know how hot or how long to pre-heat it)

Boil the potato (with skin) but not too soft. After that's done, cut into quarters.

Cut the tomatoes in quarters.

In a pan, drizzle lightly the olive oil to cover the base.

Place the cut tomatoes and potatoes on the outer parts of the pan.

Place the entire batter mix in the middle of the pan. Spread well.


It should look like this

Place the pan in the oven and let cook
(I'll leave it to your intuitions to decide when the thing is done)

End result:
It's ideal as a snack (minus the tomatoes and potatoes)


Pointers for next attempt:

Consider grilling the tomatoes and potatoes to have a crusty layer.
The first attempt saw the tomatoes and potatoes a little squishy.

Drizzle squeezed lemon for added zist!

Use a table spoon of fish oil in batter mix.

Use sea salts that are bigger in size
(I can't find any here)



So, if any of you guys try this recipe out, do tell me.
And let's compare notes.
