Preparation Steps

• In a small saucepan, combine the walnuts and sugar with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook until sugar is dissolved and walnuts are candied, about 5 minutes.
• Drain and spread the walnuts on a baking sheet to dry.
• In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, honey, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
• Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then dredge each shrimp in cornstarch, shaking off the excess.
• Fry the shrimp in batches in the hot oil until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
• In a large bowl, toss the cooked shrimp with the mayonnaise sauce until evenly coated.
• Sprinkle the candied walnuts over the shrimp and serve immediately.
