Introduction: Honey Walnut Shrimp


Ingredients:

     1lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined, with tails removed)
     1 cup water
     2/3 cup white sugar
     1 cup walnuts
     4 egg whites
     2/3 cup cornstarch
     3 tablespoons mayonnaise
     2 tablespoons honey
     1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
     Fresh lemon juice
     Canola oil (for frying)

Method:

In a small sauce pan mix water and sugar. Bring to a boil and add the walnuts. Boil for 2 minutes, drain and place on a baking sheet to dry.

Beat egg whites in a medium bowl until foamy. Stir in cornstarch until it becomes somewhat thick. Dip shrimp into the batter and fry in hot oil for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on a cooling rack to keep coating crispy.

In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, honey, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice. Add shrimp and toss to coat with the sauce. Add walnuts and serve.
