Instructions

Cornmeal Crusted Shrimp
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 475° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and spray with cooking spray.
  2. Get out 3 shallow dishes, I like to use pie plates. In the first dish combine the flour salt and pepper. In the second dish whisk the two egg whites together with a teaspoon or two of water. In the third dish combine the cornmeal, salt, garlic and onion powder, paprika and cayenne.
  3. Working in batches dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour, then dip them into the egg whites and then coat them in the cornmeal mixture. Shake off any excess cornmeal before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with a little olive oil. Place the shrimp on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
