Crispy shrimp copycat from Bravo. Panko coated fried shrimp are standard; the real prize here is a creamy fire-roasted tomato dipping sauce.
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and butterflied
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
vegetable oil, for frying
Sauce
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup fire roasted tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup half and half (or cream)
salt and pepper
1 bunch green onions, sliced
Prepare the sauce by heating olive oil in a large skillet on med heat. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add white wine, oregano and tomatoes. Stir and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add parmesan cheese and cream, simmer a for few minutes longer while you fry the shrimp. Just before serving, whisk in the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Coat shrimp in a mixture of egg and milk, then toss in panko breadcrumbs. Heat 1/4-inch of oil in a large frying pan on med-high. Toss in shrimp and cook until crispy- 3-5 minutes, turning once. Remove shrimp to a paper towel lined plate before serving.
To serve, put a few generous spoonfuls of the sauce on a plate. Add shrimp and sprinkle sliced green onion on the top. Serve immediately.
A version of the appetizer from Bravo restaurants called "Crispy Shrimp Napoli".

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Didnât taste as good as the actual shrimp Napoli. Sauce was a bit off. More watery then expected. However it was good. I fried them to a crisp and found that the sauce tasted much more flavorful because of the fried coat around the shrimp.

Tastes just like the Bravo appetizer. I have two comments: 1-I didn't have oregano so I used herbs de provence, just great. 2-Next time I will use more cream as the sauce got a little too thick or maybe I didn't turn the heat off soon enough. Thanks for the recipe, it's great.

The fried shrimp itself is pretty basic but has a good crunch to it. The sauce however is quite impressive and flavorful. We ate it as part of a meal instead of an appetizer
