Walnut Shrimp
Walnut shrimp is a popular Chinese-American dish that consists of large, juicy shrimp coated in a sweet and creamy sauce, topped with crunchy walnuts.
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined (size 16-23)
- 1 large egg
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ¼ cup corn starch for dipping shrimp
For the Sugar Glazed Walnut
- 1 cup raw walnut
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp water
For Walnut Shrimp Dressing
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp condensed milk
- ½ small lemon juice
Instructions
- Ensure the shrimp are thoroughly cleaned and deveined. In a bowl, mix the shrimp with salt and pepper to taste. Add an egg to the mixture and coat the shrimp with corn starch.
- In a frying pan over medium-high heat, add oil. Carefully place the coated shrimp in the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides (about 3 minutes).
- Remove the shrimp from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes. Next, return the shrimp to the pan and fry for another minute.

- In a large bowl, combine the fried shrimp and caramelized walnuts. In another bowl, mix together mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, and condensed milk until smooth. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and walnuts, then mix well.
