Serving: 4
Ingredients:
Shrimp
- 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp oil
Shrimp Coating
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
Candied Walnuts
- 1 cup whole walnuts
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup water
Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp condensed milk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice sub rice vinegar
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Peel and de-vein shrimp, then make a small cut down the back of the shrimp to butterfly them. This is going to increase their surface area when frying.
- In a small bowl, marinate shrimp with salt, white pepper, baking soda, cornstarch and neutral oil (I prefer avocado oil).
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter then add brown sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add water and bring to a simmer, then stir in your walnuts and cook for 5-6 minutes until the mixture has thickened. Immediately transfer the candied walnuts to a plate to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, season 1/2 cup of cornstarch with salt and white pepper, then lightly coat your marinated shrimp.
- Heat oil to 325F and fry your shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine mayo, honey, condensed milk, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Immediately stir in your fried shrimp and walnuts and enjoy!
