Share:
Ingredients
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup walnuts
- 1 pound medium shrimps, peeled and deveined
- salt and pepper to taste
- peanut or canola oil
- 2 egg whites
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water and sugar until dissolved. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly reduced and thickened.
- Add walnuts and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove walnuts and arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and dry.
- In a wide pan over medium heat, heat about 2-inch deep of oil.
- In a bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Slowly add cornstarch and whisk together to form a batter.
- Season shrimp with salt and pepper to taste. Dip shrimp one by one into the cornstarch batter to fully coat.
- Add to hot oil and deep-fry until lightly browned. With a slotted spoon, remove from pan and drain on a wire rack.
- In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, condensed milk, and honey. Stir until smooth.
- Add fried shrimps and gently toss in sauce to coat.
- Transfer to serving platter and garnish with candied walnuts.
Notes
- Spread the walnuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet as soon as they're coated with the glaze and separate using two forks while still hot to keep from clumping and sticking together.
- The nuts will be slightly soft while still warm but will crisp up as they cool.
- Whisk the cornstarch batter well to ensure it's light and airy; a thinner batter means a crispier crust.
- Pat the shrimps dry for the coating to adhere well.
