Recipe: Honey Walnut Shrimp

My husband and I love this! We always order this whenever we go to Chinese Restaurants, and figured why not make our own since we love it so much, and we can have it anytime we want! I want to share you how I make it:
~ MY HONEY WALNUT SHRIMP ~

Ingredients:
1 cup water
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup walnuts
4 egg whites
2/3 cup mochiko (glutinous rice flour) - optional, you can use any breading you want
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. condensed milk
1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions:
1. Stir together the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and add the walnuts. Boils for 2 minutes, then drain & place walnuts on a paper towel to dry.
2. Whip egg whites in a medium bowl until foamy. Stir in the mochiko until pasty.
3. Heat the oil in a heavy deep skillet over medium-high heat. Dip shrimp into the mochiko batter & then fry in the hot oil until golden brown, about 5 mins. Remove & drain on paper towels.
4. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayo, honey and condensed milk. Add shrimp and toss to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle the walnuts on top and serve.

* best serve over cooked rice :)
* You can find mochiko flour on Asian groceries.

ENJOY!
