Step 2
Place the butter in a small sauce pan and heat it on medium low until it melts. Once it melts add the walnuts and stir until they are completely coated with the butter. Then turn the heat up to high and cook them for 1 minute stirring constantly.
-
Step 3
After a minute turn the heat back down to medium and sprinkle in the 2 tablespoons of sugar while stirring to coat each walnut. Cook them for another 2 minutes stirring constantly. Then turn off the heat and set the walnuts aside to cool.
-
Step 4
In a large cup mix together the mayonnaise, honey, sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice. Then set this sauce mixture aside.
-
Step 5
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, the remaining teaspoon of sugar, salt and water. This will be the batter for the shrimp. Once this batter is thoroughly mixed, add the shrimp and stir to coat each piece. Leave the shrimp in the batter until they are ready to go into the hot oil.
-
Step 6
Heat the oil on high. Once the oil is hot add the shrimp one at a time directly from the batter into the hot oil. Make sure to let the excess batter drip off before placing it into the oil. Cook about 8 to 10 shrimp at a time so that the wok is not overcrowded and let them cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Then remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.
-
Step 7
Continue cooking the remaining shrimp in batches. Once all of the shrimp are cooked, toss them in a bowl with the sauce and the walnuts. Then they are ready to serve. Makes about 3 servings.
