Place 1 cup of bread crumbs on a large plate and combine the remaining bread crumbs with the coconut on another large plate. Take the shrimp from the egg whites, letting the excess drip back into the bowl and place on the plate with the bread crumbs. Toss to coat.
Put the shrimp back into the egg whites then into the coconut mixture, tossing and pressing the coconut onto the shrimp to coat well. Place the shrimp on the prepared baking sheets. Spray with some cooking spray.
