This is one of my favorite shrimp dishes. I once ordered this from a chinese restuarant a few years ago, and fell inlove with the uniqueness in taste! I hope you will enjoy the taste too!

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb 31/40 shrimp (peeled & deveined)
1/2 c walnut halves
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 Tbsp honey
1/4 Tbsp condensed milk
1 tsp lemon juice
1 large egg white
1/2 c corn starch (for coating shrimp)
1/4 c pineapple chunks, fresh (optional)
canola oil (for frying)
FOR THE WALNUTS:
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c water

  • 1. Peel and deveined the shrimp/prawn. Pat dry with paper towels, add the egg white, mix well with the shrimp and set aside.
  • 2. Rinse the walnut halves with water, drain and set aside.

  • 10. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish the candied walnuts on top of the shrimp and serve immediately. (if desired, you can also add the pineapple chunk for garnish)
