Ingredients
- 1 lb Raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 large Egg white
- 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
- 2 tbsp Gluten-free soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Gluten-free mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Walnut halves
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 cups Gluten-free vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 tbsp Green onions, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the candied walnuts by combining granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat and stirring until dissolved. Add walnuts and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until syrup thickens. Remove walnuts and allow to cool on parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, gluten-free mayonnaise, lemon juice, and gluten-free soy sauce until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
Pat dry the shrimp with a paper towel. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites until frothy. Add tapioca starch and mix until smooth.
Step 4
Heat the gluten-free vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Dip shrimp in the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated, and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until shrimp are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, toss the fried shrimp with the honey sauce and add the candied walnuts.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to a serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
