Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Walnut Shrimp
- Begin by marinating the shrimp in a bowl with a pinch of salt, a dash of white pepper, and one egg white for about 15 minutes.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of water, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add 1 cup of walnuts and stir to coat. Cook for another 2 minutes until thickened, then transfer to a plate to cool.
- In a shallow dish, combine ½ cup of potato starch with a pinch of salt and white pepper. Dredge each marinated shrimp in the potato starch mixture.
- In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup of mayonnaise, ¼ cup of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat enough neutral oil to cover the bottom over medium-high heat. Add the coated shrimp in batches, frying for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the crispy shrimp with the cooled candied walnuts and creamy sauce. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes
For optimal crispiness, enjoy immediately after cooking and fry the shrimp in batches. Adjust sauce sweetness to taste.
