• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup water

2/3 cup white sugar

1/2 cup walnut halves

4 egg whites

2/3 cup cornstarch

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 pound large shrimp (, 18-20 count, peeled and deveined)

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk

1 cup vegetable oil for frying

scallions for topping (, optional)

Directions

Add the water, sugar and walnuts to a small saucepan and bring to a boil.

Boil for two minutes and remove the walnuts and dry on a dish to dry.

Whisk the egg whites until they are foamy then add cornstarch and continue whisking until combined.

Add the shrimp to the batter and one at a time using a fork or my favorite pig tail flipper pick up 1 shrimp at a time allowing it to drip off so that the shrimp has a thin coating and maintains it's shape.

Heat your oil in a medium sized pot on medium high (350 degrees) and fry until light golden brown, 4-5 minutes.

To make the sauce, add the honey, mayonnaise and sweetened condensed milk and whisk to combine.

Add the fried shrimp to the sauce and coat with a large spoon.

Place into your serving plate and top with the candied walnuts.

Serve immediately with steamed rice.

Optionally you can top with sliced scallions.
