Ingredients
- 2 pounds jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup flour whole wheat or gluten-free
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil divided to cook in batches
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Franks Hot Sauce

Instructions
- Dredge the shrimps with flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip back.
- Coat with the breadcrumbs.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the shrimp in 2 batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 1-3 minutes per side.
- While the shrimp cooks, whisk the honey, soy sauce, hot sauce and walnuts in a small bowl.
- Once the shrimp are done, drizzle with the honey-walnut mixture and gently stir to coat.

Notes
- Honey walnut shrimp is best eaten right away. However, if you have leftovers, here’s how to keep it fresh longer:
- Storing: Transfer shrimp to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- To reheat: Rewarm the shrimp in a skillet set over medium heat. You could also try heating them up in an air fryer for a couple of minutes.
