Clean shrimp: pat dry. Dredge shrimp in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then in seasoned bread crumbs. Shake off excess crumbs. When all the shrimp are breaded, heat oil in a large skillet. Fry shrimp, 4-5 at a time until golden brown, (it is not necessary to cook through, since they will be bake further), remove to a baking pan in a single layer. Top with tomato sauce, mozzarella, Romano cheese and dried oregano. Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with chopped fresh parsley. Serves 8 (allows 3-4 shrimp per person).
