Ingredients
- 2 pounds large shrimp peeled, deveined, and tails removed
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup flour
- 4 tablespoons oil
- ½ cup walnuts
- 1 cup water
- ⅔ cup sugar
Sauce
- ⅔ cup mayo
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Add sugar and 1 cup water to a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Add walnuts and boil for 2 minutes. Drain the sauce pan and transfer the walnuts to a clean surface where they can cool.
- Rinse shrimp and shake off excess water. Add flour to a large zip lock bag and then add shrimp. Seal and toss to coat shrimps in flour.
- Whisk together eggs and water in a small bowl. In another small bowl, place panko crumbs.
- Dip shrimp in the egg wash, then toss in the panko crumbs to coat.
- Heat oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Add shrimps and sauté 4-5 minutes until shrimps turn pink and breading is lightly browned. (If using pre-cooked shrimp, you only need to sauté 1-2 minutes just to heat them up and brown them)
- Add cooked shrimp to sauce bowl and toss to coat. Serve immediately. Top with walnuts and garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve with cooked rice.

Notes
- You can use any mayo you like, but I like to use reduced fat mayo to lighten the sauce up just a bit.
- If you only have pre-cooked shrimp or that's what you prefer eating, you'll only need to sauté them for 1-2 minutes just to heat them up and brown them up. Be sure you don't overcook them.
- These walnut shrimp will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. I like to reheat mine in a skillet but you can also microwave — they won't be nearly as crisp as thought.
