Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup cornstarch
• 2 large egg whites
• 1 cup walnuts
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 1 tbsp green onions, thinly sliced (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring to a boil, then add the walnuts. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove the walnuts with a slotted spoon and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the cornstarch and mix until a smooth batter forms.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 4

Dip each shrimp into the batter, letting any excess drip off, and carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, sweetened condensed milk, and sesame oil until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Add the fried shrimp to the mixing bowl and gently toss to coat them in the sesame glaze.

Step 7

Arrange the glazed shrimp on a serving platter. Top with the candied walnuts, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Sesame Glazed Walnut Shrimp!
