My Beijing Olympics Chinese food series continue today with everyone’s favorite shrimp/prawn dish in the United States–Honey Walnut Shrimp or Walnut Prawn (核桃虾).
This Honey Walnut Shrimp is loaded with all the right stuff: crunchy candy-glazed walnuts, big shrimp (which is referred to as “prawn” elsewhere), mayonnaise, condensed milk, and honey. With such mouthwatering ingredient lists, no wonder this is one of the most popular dishes in many Chinese restaurants.
Ordering Walnut Prawn at restaurants could be expensive but with my recipe, you can make Honey Walnut Shrimp anytime you want, for as little as $10.00!
1 pound of 31/40 count big shrimp/prawn – US$7.00
1 small pack of walnut halves – US$2.00
A little honey, a little condensed milk, a little mayonnaise – US$1.00
Total: US$10.00….
