Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup plain panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with lemon juice, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
In a shallow dish, add the flour. In another shallow dish, place the egg whites. In a third dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the fresh parsley.
Dip each shrimp into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg whites, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
Place the breaded shrimp onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the shrimp to help them crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately with your favorite low sodium dipping sauce or lemon wedges on the side.
