  • 8ouncesuncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ¼cupwater
  • ¼cupwhite sugar
  • ½cupwalnut halves
  • 3tablespoonsmayonnaise

  • ½tablespoonsweetened condensed milk
  • 1teaspoonlemon juice
  • ⅓cupcornstarch

  • Directions

    Mix egg white and salt together in a bowl; add shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

    Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add sugar; cook until dissolved, about 1 minute. Add walnuts. Turn heat down to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until syrup thickens and turns into a dark caramel color, 4 to 7 minutes.

    Line a baking sheet. Pour walnuts onto the baking sheet, spacing the pieces apart. Let cool.

    Mix mayonnaise, honey, condensed milk, and lemon juice together in a small bowl for the dressing.

    Drain excess liquid from the shrimp. Place cornstarch in a plastic sandwich bag. Toss shrimp in the cornstarch in batches.

    Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a medium to large pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drop shrimp carefully into the hot oil in batches; fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels to preserve crispiness.

    Serve shrimp with the walnuts and honey dressing.



    We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
