HONEY WALNUT SHRIMP
Have you ever had the Honey Walnut Shrimp at Panda Express? Oh, it is sweet goodness! When I came across this recipe on IG, I knew I had to try it! It was delicious, and fairly easy despite all the steps and the frying. We’ve made it several times and it always hits the spot.
HONEY WALNUT SHRIMP
1 pound shrimp, peeled & deveined
1 cup walnuts
½ cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk
4 egg whites
½ cup cornstarch
1 Tbsp honey
¼ cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup water
1 Tbsp salt
Instructions:
Mix egg whites, cornstarch, and salt to create a wet batter. Add Shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Deep fry until golden brown and cooked through.
In a bowl, combine the walnuts, brown sugar, and water. Simmer and reduce until the walnuts are sitting in a caramel with a honey-like texture.
In a separate bowl combine condensed milk, mayo, and honey. Stir well.
Place fried shrimp into bowl mixture and toss to coat. Add nut mixture and stir to coat. Serve hot over a bed of rice.
It really is easy to make, and you won’t regret it! I love that it has that Panda Express flavor without the MSG! There’s something great about controlling the ingredients in your meals.
