Ingredients
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoon old bay or other cajun seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound raw medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 egg white, whisked
  • cooking spray
  • lemon wedges, for garnish
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together Panko, parmesan, old bay, salt and pepper until combined.
  3. Set up your dipping station with bowls of (1) shrimp (2) egg whites and (3) breading. Working one at a time, dip a piece of shrimp in the egg whites until it is covered. Then transfer to the breadcrumb mixture and toss until combined. Gently place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining shrimp, then generously coat all of the shrimp with a layer of cooking spray. (This will help the breading turn golden.)
  4. Bake for 3 minutes, then flip shrimp and bake for another 3 minutes until cooked through. Serve warm with cocktail or ranch sauce for dipping.
