Gluten-free bread crumbs are easy. Just take any piece of dried up GF bread product and toss it into a food processor. I’ve used bagels with much success and tonight I bought a loaf of Trader Joe’s Brown Rice bread with the intention of drying it all out and making breadcrumbs. I had this recipe (Shrimp Boats) that needed some bread crumbs so I thought I would stock up. I laid out all of the slices on a tray and put them in a 250 degree oven until they were noticeably toast-ier. (about 15-20 minutes). I whirred them up in a food processor and voila — I had enough for my shrimp boats and enough to store for later use.
The Shrimp Boats are a great way to get veggies into the kids. They ate the whole thing! First, dice a pound of uncooked shrimp and mix it with some garlic and a tablespoon or so of olive oil. Mix in 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the center like you would a cucumber. Put zucchinis in a greased pan and fill with the shrimp mixture. Top with 1/4 cup more breadcrumbs, drizzle with some olive oil and cook for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Yumm.
