Ingredients
- 16 oz jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined )
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup egg whites (or egg beaters)
- 6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs (or gluten-free crumbs)

- Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then put a few at a time in the bowl with the eggs to coat.
- Put a few pieces of shrimp at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on a baking sheet.
- Once all the shrimp is breaded, if you still have crumbs left, re-dip the shrimp back into the egg beaters and then back into crumbs and back onto the baking sheet.
