Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)

- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp heavy cream or mayonnaise
- Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions
- Prepare shrimp: Clean and devein shrimp. Pat dry.
- Coat shrimp: Toss in cornstarch or dip in tempura batter until evenly coated.
- Fry shrimp: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry shrimp until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels. For extra crunch, double-fry briefly.
- Make honey cream sauce: Whisk honey, condensed milk, cream or mayo, and seasonings until smooth. Adjust sweetness to taste.
- Combine: Toss hot shrimp in warm sauce just before serving.
- Garnish: Top with candied walnuts, sesame seeds, or scallions.
- Expert Tip: Double-fry shrimp for extra crispiness, and keep sauce warm—combine only at the last moment to preserve texture.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt or coconut milk for a lighter sauce.
- Double-frying ensures maximum crunch.
- Serve immediately—shrimp loses crispiness if left in sauce too long.
- Candied walnuts add a banquet-style touch.
- Adjust honey for sweetness and condensed milk for creaminess.
