Crispy shrimp coated in a creamy, sweet, and tangy sauce, topped with candied walnuts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  1. For the candied walnuts: Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then add walnuts. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar crystallizes and coats the walnuts. Spread on parchment paper to cool.
  2. For the shrimp: Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss shrimp with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg. Dip the cornstarch-coated shrimp into the beaten egg.
  4. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  5. For the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, condensed milk, and lemon juice until smooth.
  6. Add the fried shrimp to the sauce and toss gently to coat.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with candied walnuts.

Notes

  • Ensure shrimp are thoroughly patted dry before coating for maximum crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the fryer when cooking shrimp to maintain oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of honey and condensed milk to your preferred sweetness.
