HONEY PECAN SHRIMP
Ingredients
1 pound large raw shrimp peeled
Candied Pecans
1 cup water
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup pecan halves
Shrimp Batter
4 egg whites
2/3 cup cornstarch
Sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
Preparation
1
Remove the tails from the shrimp, and devein if necessary. I like to buy these already cleaned so you don't have mess with it. Set aside. Mix together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
2
Place the water and white sugar into a small or medium pot, and bring to a simmer. Add your pecans, and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Carefully remove the pecans onto a paper towel to cool.
3
Preheat the oil in a high sided frying pan to about 350 degrees. That's over medium to medium high heat on my stove. Your stove may vary. If you don't have a thermometer, you can tell it is hot enough when the oil bubbles when a small dab of batter is added, and when your first shrimp comes to a golden brown in about 2 minutes.
4
Whisk together the egg whites and cornstarch until well combined. Add the shrimp. Fry in batches until golden brown and all of the shrimp is cooked.
5
Toss the cooked shrimp with the sauce and candied nuts.
6
Serve immediately.
