Nutrition Facts

Instructions

1. 11. Prepare candied walnuts first. Heat sugar in a small skillet until it begins to melt and caramelize, about 3-4 minutes. Add walnuts, stirring quickly to coat evenly. Transfer to parchment paper to cool and crisp.
2. 22. Create batter by whisking egg whites until frothy. Gently fold in cornstarch and a pinch of salt until smooth.
3. 33. Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Dip each shrimp into batter, allowing excess to drip off.
4. 44. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed wok or deep fryer to 375°F. Fry shrimp in small batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Drain on wire rack.
5. 55. Prepare honey sauce by whisking mayonnaise, honey, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and glossy.
6. 66. Toss crispy shrimp in honey sauce, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
7. 77. Plate by arranging shrimp in a circular pattern, sprinkle candied walnuts on top, and garnish with sliced green onions.
