Shrimp Oreganata

This classic Italian-American dish is a favorite for its simple yet delicious combination of succulent shrimp, fragrant oregano, and crispy breadcrumbs. I like to use panko breadcrumbs with this recipe, but feel free to use regular breadcrumbs. It’s incredibly easy to make! With just a few simple ingredients and some quick prep work, you can have a mouthwatering meal on the table in no time.

Originating from the coastal regions of Italy, this dish was brought over to the United States by Italian immigrants and has since become a staple in many Italian-American households. And for good reason – the combination of fresh seafood, herbs, and breadcrumbs is a classic flavor profile in Italian cuisine. With its roots in traditional Italian cooking, shrimp oreganata has stood the test of time as a beloved dish in the Italian-American community. So whether you’re hosting a dinner party or just looking to mix up your weeknight meals, shrimp oreganata is a crowd-pleaser that’s sure to satisfy.
