Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails on; 1 cup walnuts, halved; 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 1/2 cup water; 1/4 cup mayonnaise; 2 tablespoons honey; 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk; 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed; 1/2 cup cornstarch; 2 large eggs, beaten; 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the candied walnuts

In a medium saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. Add walnuts and boil for 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the walnuts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure to separate the pieces. Allow to cool and dry completely, about 10 minutes.
Make the honey cream sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare the shrimp

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with salt. Dip each shrimp in beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
Fry the shrimp

Heat oil in a large deep skillet or wok to 350°F (175°C). Fry shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Toss and serve

In a large bowl, gently toss the fried shrimp with the honey cream sauce until well coated. Transfer to a serving plate, top with candied walnuts and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately while still warm.
