Honey Walnut Shrimp

(Click each picture to make it larger)

So F’ing good. I didn’t want to make it a fancy presentation because if this was served on the ground in an alley I would still eat it.

-2 pounds shrimp, deveined and peeled (keep the peels)
-3 cups walnuts
-1 cup sugar
-Canola Oil in a deep fryer at 350F
-1/3 cup Arrowroot              (World Spice)
-1/2 cup egg whites,  you’ll need 4-5 eggs
-2 tbsp honey
-1/4 cup coconut milk
-2 tbsp mayonnaise
-1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup condensed milk

In a medium sauce pot bring water to boil then pour in the walnuts.  You will need to dump the water from the walnuts 4-6 times, do this until the water turns clear. When the water turns clear then stir in the sugar and let it completely dissolve then remove the walnuts. Drop the walnuts into a deep fryer for about 5 minutes then remove and let rest.

Take the shrimp peels and pour them into a medium sauce pan and with 2 cups of water.  Simmer until you have reduced the liquid to 1 cup.  Take the liquid from the shrimp and pour in a medium mixing bowl.  Let rest.

In a mixing bowl combine the shrimp, arrowroot, coconut milk, and egg whites. Stir them up and place them covered in the refrigerator for about 25 minutes.

Mix honey, mayonnaise, shrimp peel liquid, lemon juice, and condensed milk together.

Take the shrimp out of the refrigerator and deep fry them for 5 minutes.

On a large platter arrange the shrimp, walnuts, and dipping sauce.   Enjoy

  2. This looks fantastic. Great recipe. I’ve made something similar before, but without the arrowroot and coconut milk. Gotta try it with those two ingredients next time I make it.
