In most of the Fried Mushroom recipes I’ve tried, the bread crumbs coating separated and left me with a half-bald mushroom. Short research revealed that the best coating is the traditional one for schnitzel: a mixture of flour, batter, and a bread crumb coating. No shortcuts! When I tried it on the Skinny Pasta Shrimp recipe, my eyes lit up – the coating adhered to the mushrooms obediently.
The success stimulated my appetite, and I decided to apply the bread crumb recipe to Fried Oyster Mushrooms in Shrimp Style.
The result was perfect! I got a delicacy that is hard to resist: super crispy on the outside, soft on the inside with a bold sea flavor.
This excellent appetizer will finish in an instant.
Enjoy and let me know how it turned out ❣️😋
