Honey Walnut Shrimp

You're going to want to try this - I won't have to order the Walnut Shrimp at PF Chang's anymore because I can make it myself.  "Hong Kong Style Chinese recipe! Crispy battered shrimp tossed in creamy sauce topped with sugar coated walnuts"

If served with rice I think that 4-5 large shrimp per person is enough.  Recipe modified from Allrecipes.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 
  
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon canned sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, then add to taste preferences.

1 egg white

1/2 cup corn starch

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. 1. Prepare the Caramel Glaze by heating up 1/2 cup of water until it boils. Add in the sugar and keep stirring until it turns 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.)
