Directions
Step 1
Prepare the candied walnuts: In a small saucepan, combine 0.5 cup of granulated sugar and 0.25 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 4
Sprinkle 0.5 cup of cornstarch over the prawns and gently toss to coat evenly.

Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the prawns in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1.5 tablespoons of honey, and 1.5 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Set aside.
Step 7
Place the fried prawns in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey sauce over the prawns and gently toss to coat them evenly.
