Ingredients

- ¼ cup pure honey

- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp pure honey
- 1 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

- 2 cups oil for frying, vegetable oil or peanut oil
Candied Walnuts
Honey Sauce
Fried Shrimp
Directions
In a small pot over medium heat, bring water and honey to a boil. Add walnuts and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Pour the honey walnuts on a parchment-lined tray to cool down.
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, honey, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice then set aside. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat (350 degrees).
In another medium bowl, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cornstarch and toss to coat well. Fry the shrimp until golden, about 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp and drain on a plate lined with a paper towel.
Toss fried shrimp with the honey sauce. Top with candied walnuts and garnish with green onions. You can serve this with rice, chow mein noodles, and/or steamed broccoli.
