Honey Walnut Shrimp

2 lbs large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
3 eggs + 2 T water
1 C panko
1 C flour
4 T oil
1/2 C walnuts
1 C water
2/3 C sugar

Sauce:
2/3 C mayo
1 tsp crushed red chili flakes
1 tsp garlic powder (I didn't have garlic powder so I minced garlic very fine)
1/2 tsp salt
4 T honey
1 T sweetened condensed milk (I didn't have condensed milk so left it out.  Still tasted great!)

I made this on March 11, 2019.  I thought I was opening up a package of mahi-mahi, but when I discovered it was shrimp, I had to scramble to find a recipe.  I couldn't make "carry-on shrimp" because that required marinating.  The dish was delicious!!!!

 Instructions:

1. Whisk together all sauce ingredients and set aside.
2. Add sugar and 1 C water to a small sauce pan.  Bring to a boil.  Add walnuts and boil for two minutes.  Drain the sauce pan and transfer the walnuts to a clean surface where they can cool.
3. Rinse shrimp and shake off excess water.  Add flour to a large ziploc bag and then add shrimp.  Seal and toss to coat shrimps in flour.
4. Whisk together eggs and water in a small bowl.  In another small bowl, place panko crumbs.
5. Dip shrimp in the egg wash, then toss in the panko crumbs to coat.
6. Heat oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.  Add shrimps and sauté 4 to 5 minutes until shrimp turn pink and breading is lightly browned.  (If using pre-cooked shrimp, you only need to sauté one to two minutes just to heat them up and brown them).
7. Add cooked shrimp to sauce bowl and toss to coat.  Serve immediately.  Top with walnuts and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.  Serve with cooked rice.
