Italian Spicy Breaded Shrimp



Italian Spicy Breaded Shrimp

It is a classic appetizer from the Adriatic coast.It is crispy with the flavor of lemon,almond and cinnamon. Recipe calls for Ameretto or Italian almond liquor, I also used a little of almond flour and panko bread crumbs to the breading flour which adds a crunchy nutty flavor to the shrimp.
