Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 egg whites
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the caramelized walnuts: In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
Add the walnuts to the saucepan and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are coated and slightly caramelized. Remove the walnuts with a slotted spoon and place them on parchment paper to cool and harden.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites until frothy. Add the cornstarch and mix to form a thick batter.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then dip them into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a separate mixing bowl, prepare the sauce by combining the mayonnaise, sweetened condensed milk, honey, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth.
Add the fried shrimp to the bowl with the sauce and gently toss until evenly coated.
Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter and top with the caramelized walnuts. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Fortune Restaurant Shrimp Walnut!
