Ingredients:
1 pound uncooked shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 egg whites
1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 package crunchy taco shells or tortillas
2 carrots, shredded
1⁄2 small head cabbage, shredded

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 475ºF. Lightly grease a large baking sheet and set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, and pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat egg whites with 2 Tbsp. cold water. Place panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.

Toss shrimp in flour to coat, shaking off excess. Dip shrimp in egg whites, shake off excess, then toss in panko, shaking off excess. Place about 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet.

Bake in preheated 475ºF oven until shrimp are opaque, about 10 to 15 minutes (depending on size of shrimp) turning shrimp over halfway through cooking time.
