Method

Preparing the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Marinate Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Coat Shrimp

    In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and beaten egg until smooth. Dip each marinated shrimp into the mixture, ensuring it is well coated.

Cooking the Shrimp

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 4

    Fry Shrimp

    Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Making the Walnut Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together chopped walnuts, mayonnaise, honey, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and salt until smooth and creamy.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the fried shrimp. Drizzle the walnut sauce over the shrimp.

  2. 7

    Add Garnish

    Sprinkle chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
