Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • After the sugar dissolves and the walnut syrup starts boiling, do not stir; instead, shake the pan gently over low heat to prevent crystallization and achieve a smooth finish.
  • Letting the starch-coated shrimp rest for about 20 minutes before frying prevents the coating from falling off and results in a thin, crispy crust.
  • Do not add all the sauce at once; toss lightly so it just coats the shrimp to avoid sogginess.

Recommended for

  • Those preparing an impressive dish for a special occasion or home party.
  • Those who want to enjoy the combination of sweet crispy candied walnuts and plump creamy shrimp.
