In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, cornstarch, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper until frothy. Add shrimp, and toss to coat.
Heat ¼ cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two or three batches, cook shrimp until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain. Add more oil to skillet if necessary for remaining batches. Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Add orange juice, soy sauce, and sugar.
Boil over high heat until syrupy and reduced to about ⅓ cup, 4 to 5 minutes. Return shrimp to skillet; add scallions, and cook until heated through and coated with sauce.
