- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites until frothy.
In another bowl, mix whey protein isolate, cornstarch, panko breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to create the coating mixture.
Dip each shrimp first in the egg whites, letting any excess drip off, then coat with the protein mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well.
Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the shrimp with olive oil spray to help achieve a crispy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until the shrimp are cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
While the shrimp are baking, make the bang bang sauce by combining mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, honey, and lime juice in a small bowl. Mix until well blended and smooth.
Once the shrimp are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle or toss them with the bang bang sauce.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy your high-protein bang bang shrimp!
