Honey walnut shrimp is a delicious Hong Kong-style dish of crispy battered shrimp topped with a creamy sauce and sugar-coated walnuts.
INGREDIENT :
1 cup water
⅔ cup white sugar
½ cup walnuts
4 large egg whites
⅔ cup mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon canned sweetened condensed milk
RECIPE DIRECTION :
Gather all ingredients.
Stir water and sugar together in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and add walnuts. Boil for 2 minutes, then drain and place walnuts on a cookie sheet to dry.
Whip egg whites in a medium bowl until foamy. Stir in mochiko until it has a pasty consistency.
Heat oil in a heavy deep skillet over medium-high heat. Dip shrimp in mochiko batter, then fry in batches in hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Stir together mayonnaise, honey, and sweetened condensed milk in a medium serving bowl.
Add fried shrimp and toss to coat with sauce. Sprinkle candied walnuts on top and serve.
