Ingredients
 
 

For the Batter and Shrimp:

  • 400 g Shrimp cleaned and deveined
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tbsp Water
  • 6 tbsp Corn flour

For the Candied Walnuts:

  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 125 g Walnuts
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 tbsp Honey

For the Honey Mayo Sauce:

  • 100 g Mayo
  • 25 g Condensed Milk
  • 25 g Honey
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice

For Garnish:

  • Sliced Scallions

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200°F (100°C). Simultaneously, heat a large pot of oil for deep frying.
  • Melt butter in a large saute pan. Add the walnuts and cook until the butter starts to brown. Mix in sugar, water, and honey, then reduce until you achieve a sticky consistency that coats the walnuts.
  • Spread out the walnuts on a baking tray lined with baking paper, ensuring they aren’t touching. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • While the walnuts are baking, prepare the honey mayo sauce. In a bowl, combine mayo, condensed milk, honey, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  • In another mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Gradually mix in cornflour, one tablespoon at a time, until you have a thin batter.
  • Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then stir them into the batter until they're fully coated.
  • Deep fry the shrimp in the preheated oil for 2-3 minutes. Do this in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pot. Once fried, use a slotted or fryer spoon to transfer the shrimp to a wire rack to drain.
  • Place the fried shrimp into a large mixing bowl, then toss them with the prepared honey mayo sauce until they're well-coated.
  • Serve the shrimp topped with the candied walnuts and a sprinkle of sliced scallions. Enjoy this savory-sweet, crunchy delight!
