In a sentence

恥(は)ずかしいembarrassingなぁ!

How embarrassing!

How it works

Just one i-adjective doing all the work: 恥ずかしい(はずかしい) (embarrassing) stands alone as a complete sentence, no subject and no copula needed. The drawn-out なぁ (...) on the end adds a heartfelt, talking-to-yourself sigh — "how embarrassing…".
