Notes
If you are following a gluten free diet be sure to use gluten free Bisquick and non stick spray. The shrimp used in this recipe were sized 31-35 count per pound. If you use different sized shrimp you may need to adjust your baking time up or down accordingly. When choosing your seasonings remember that the paprika helps to facilitate the golden color of the finished shrimp.

Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined then patted dry
- 1 cup Bisquick
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Seasonings of your choice (I used salt and pepper, old bay, garlic powder, paprika)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F or 230 degrees C.
- In a medium bowl stir together the Bisquick and seasonings of your choice. I added 1 tablespoon paprika, 2 teaspoons old bay, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- In another medium bowl whisk the egg and milk together with a little more of the same seasonings used in the Bisquick, then toss the shrimp into the egg mixture.
- Place a few of the shrimp at a time into the dry mixture a toss around until well coated then place them onto a foil lined baking sheet that’s been heavily sprayed with nonstick spray. When all of the shrimp are coated spray them all heavily with cooking spray and bake them at 450 degrees F or 230 degrees C for 12 minutes then serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
