Instructions

6 steps

1
Bring 1 cup of water and the sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, add the walnuts, and simmer for 2 minutes, then drain and spread them on a parchment-lined tray to harden and crisp.

2
Whisk the mayonnaise, honey, and condensed milk together in a large bowl until smooth, then set this dressing aside.
3
Beat the egg whites until frothy, dip each shrimp to coat, then dredge thoroughly in the cornstarch until lightly and fully covered.
4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot to 375°F and fry the shrimp in batches for 2 to 3 minutes until pale golden and crisp, draining each batch on a wire rack.
5
While still warm, gently toss the fried shrimp in the honey-mayo dressing until every piece is coated.
6
Plate the shrimp, scatter the candied walnuts over the top, and serve right away before the coating softens.
