How to Make Walnut Shrimp
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup walnut halves to the boiling sugar syrup. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Drain the candied walnuts on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside to cool and dry completely.
- In a medium bowl, whisk 2 large egg whites until foamy.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup rice flour until a smooth, thick batter forms.
- Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat. (Oil should be hot enough that a small amount of batter dropped in sizzles immediately.)
- Dip each peeled and deveined shrimp into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Carefully add the battered shrimp to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked shrimp from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
- Add the fried shrimp to the honey-mayo glaze and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle with the candied walnuts and serve immediately. Enjoy!
