Recipe: Honey Walnut Prawns

Main Dishes - Fish, Shellfish
Honey-Walnut Prawns (Batter-Fried Shrimp Honey Mayonnaise Sauce and Caramelized Walnuts)
Source: Daily Review, Hayward, CA, 2/5/92
Servings: 4 to 6.

1/2 cup walnuts
5 cups water
1 cup sugar
2 cups oil
16 medium prawns, peeled and cleaned
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup egg whites
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup oil

Rinse walnuts, then boil in 5 cups water, continually changing water until clear. When clear, boil with sugar until sugar dissolves.

Heat 2 cups oil until almost smoking, then deep-fry walnuts until they're shiny and brown, no longer golden. Remove walnuts to cookie sheet, let cool.

Mix cornstarch and egg whites together to form a thick, sticky texture and mix well with prawns. Set aside.

Mix honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice and condensed milk in a medium bowl until smooth.

Heat oil until boiling, then deep fry prawns until golden brown.

Drain, then fold in honey-mayonnaise mixture. mix well, sprinkle with walnuts, and arrange on platter.

"Here's a goody. I normally shy away from Western influenced Chinese recipes and would never have fixed this one on my own. It calls for such non-Chinese things as milk and mayonnaise. My room mate fixed it the other night though, and it was excellent. He was trying to duplicate a dish that he and his date had at a Chinese place a while back and apparently, this is almost it. Laurie suggested it would be closer to the restaurant dish by just dusting the shrimp with cornstarch rather than making a batter. I imagine that it would be good either way. It certainly is good this way!" - Stephen Ceideberg; February 17 1992
