Ingredients
- 1 lb. (500g) big shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup walnut halves
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 cup cornstarch for coating the shrimp
- oil for deep-frying
Caramel Glaze:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Add the egg white to the shrimp and stir to combine well. Rinse the walnut halves with water, drain, and set aside.
- In a bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, honey, condensed milk, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
- Prepare the caramel glaze by heating 1/2 cup of water until it boils. Add the sugar and keep stirring until it turns a golden color. Add the walnut halves into the caramel.
- Lower the heat for another 1-2 minutes, then remove the walnuts and place them on a piece of parchment paper to dry. Make sure the walnuts are not sticking together. (DO NOT use regular paper towels as the walnut halves will stick to the paper.)
- Add the shrimp and toss well with the mayonnaise sauce. Transfer the honey walnut shrimp to a serving platter and top the shrimp with the candied walnuts. Serve immediately.
