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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Place the breaded shrimp onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 6

Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the shrimp to help them crisp up.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite low sodium dipping sauce or lemon wedges on the side.
