Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 lb. white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. In a shallow dish, mix together flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

4. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.

5. In a food processor or blender, pulse together the shrimp, panko breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese until the mixture resembles coarse sand.

6. Dip each piece of fish into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the shrimp and breadcrumb mixture, pressing the mixture onto the fish to coat well.

7. Place the coated fish pieces on the prepared baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.

8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the shrimp and breadcrumb coating is golden brown and crispy.
