Ingredients

1 lb. (500g) big shrimp peeled and deveined
1/2 cup walnut halves
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon honey
1/2 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 egg white
1/2 cup cornstarch for coating the shrimp
oil for deep-frying

Caramel Glaze:

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water

Instructions

Add the egg white to the shrimp and stir to combine well. Rinse the walnut halves with water, drain, and set aside.
In a bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, honey, condensed milk, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
Prepare the caramel glaze by heating 1/2 cup of water until it boils. Add the sugar and keep stirring until it turns a golden color. Add the walnut halves into the caramel.
Lower the heat for another 1-2 minutes, then remove the walnuts and place them on a piece of parchment paper to dry. Make sure the walnuts are not sticking together. (DO NOT use regular paper towels as the walnut halves will stick to the paper.)
Add the shrimp and toss well with the mayonnaise sauce. Transfer the honey walnut shrimp to a serving platter and top the shrimp with the candied walnuts. Serve immediately.
