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)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon canned sweetened condensed milk
1 cup vegetable oil for frying


DIRECTIONS
Stir together the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and add the walnuts. Boil for 2 minutes, then drain and place walnuts on a cookie sheet to dry.

Whip egg whites in a medium bowl until foamy. Stir in the mochiko until it has a pasty consistency. Heat the oil in a heavy deep skillet over medium-high heat. Dip shrimp into the mochiko batter, and then fry in the hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

In a medium serving bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, honey and sweetened condensed milk. Add shrimp and toss to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle the candied walnuts on top and serve.

I am making this tonight with chicken instead of shrimp. Substituting cornstarch for mochiko. I'll let you know how it goes.

Ok, This was absolutely delish! Just leave the walnuts off if you are allergic to nuts.

This was really good. I doubled the recipe for 8 people and had tons of left overs. It was served with the honey walnut chicken (above) and white rice. Who needs to go out when you can make chinese food right at home. Now I just need a good Chk. Lettuce Wrap recipe. :)
