- 1 pound Shrimp
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- vegetable oil for deep frying
Candied Walnuts
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
For The Honey Glaze
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise

Instructions
- In a bowl, coat the shrimp with cornstarch, ensuring they are evenly coated. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a syrup-like consistency. Add the walnuts to the syrup, stirring gently to coat them evenly. Continue cooking the walnuts in the syrup for about 5 minutes or until the syrup has thickened and turned golden. Transfer the candied walnuts to a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them cool.
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, mayonnaise, and sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
