I practice not eating meat on Fridays during Lent so I decided to try cooking honey walnut shrimp for the first time yesterday. I adapted the recipe from a couple of similar recipes I found on the Internet and made some measurement changes. I totally messed up the first time and I burned my upper arm pretty badly in the process but it was so delicious, it was worth it!
Ingredients:
1 cup of water
2/3 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of walnuts
3 egg whites
2/3 cup of mochiko
1 cup of vegetable oil
1 pound of pre-peeled shrimp
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
2 tablespoons of honey
1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk
1. In a saucepan, stir together 1 cup of water and 2/3 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil and add 1/2 cup of walnuts. Boil for two minutes. Drain the water and sugar mixture and set walnuts aside to dry.
2. In a mixing bowl, whip 3 egg whites until it is foamy. Stir in 2/3 cup of mochiko and mix until it forms a paste.
3. In a deep skillet, add 1 cup of vegetable oil. Heat over medium high heat.
4. Cover 1 pound of shrimp in egg white and mochiko mixture and carefully add one by one into pan. Fry until it is golden brown, apprximately 4 minutes.
5. In a separate bowl, add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk. Stir.
6. Toss shrimp in sauce and top with walnuts. Enjoy!
