Fry shrimp, 4 or 5 at a time until golden brown, (it is not necessary to cook through, since they will 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 degrees F oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with chopped fresh parsley. Serves 8 (allows 3 or 4 shrimp per person).
