Hey there, foodies! Today I’m super excited to share my absolute favorite Chinese afternoon treat that’ll make your taste buds dance – Crispy Honey Walnut Shrimp! Trust me, this dish is totally worth the effort, and your family will be begging for seconds. 🍤✨
Let me tell you, I discovered this recipe during my “experimental cooking phase” (we’ve all been there, right?), and it’s been a game-changer for my afternoon gatherings. The combination of crispy shrimp, sweet honey sauce, and candied walnuts is just _chef’s kiss_.
Ingredients you’ll need:
– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 cup walnuts
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon condensed milk
– 1 cup cornstarch
– 2 beaten eggs
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Oil for frying
Ladies (and gents), let’s get cooking! 👩🍳
First things first, let’s tackle those walnuts. Bring 2 cups of water and 1/2 cup sugar to a boil, toss in the walnuts for 2 minutes, then drain and toss them in some sugar. Spread them on parchment paper to cool – easy peasy!

Now, for our star of the show – the shrimp! Season those babies with salt and pepper, then dip them in beaten eggs and coat with cornstarch. Here’s my little secret: double-dip them for extra crispiness! Trust your girl on this one!
Heat your oil to 350°F (or until a small drop of batter sizzles). Fry those shrimp until they’re golden brown – about 2-3 minutes. Don’t overcrowd the pan, honey! We’re not hosting a shrimp party in there! 😅
While your shrimp are doing their thing, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, and condensed milk. I know some of you might be skeptical about the mayo, but just wait – this sauce is absolutely divine!
Toss your crispy shrimp in the sauce and sprinkle those candied walnuts on top. Serve it hot, and watch everyone’s faces light up! I usually serve this with some steamed broccoli on the side because, you know, we need to pretend we’re being healthy! 💁♀️
Y’all, this dish is seriously restaurant-quality, and I promise it’ll become your new go-to recipe for impressing guests or treating yourself to something special.
