Panda Express Honey Walnut Shrimp Recipes

HONEY WALNUT SHRIMP RECIPE - PANDA EXPRESS COPYCAT

Steps:

• Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
• Glazed walnuts and Japanese mayo.
• Place the shrimp in a gallon-sized plastic bag. Add the garlic powder, onion powder and salt.
• Add cornstarch to the bag. Close the bag and shake it so the shrimp are coated in the cornstarch and seasonings, set aside.
• In a small bowl, add mayonnaise, sweetened condensed milk, honey, and lemon juice.
• Whisk until smooth. Set aside.
• Add about ½ inch of vegetable oil to a large skillet with deep sides over medium heat. Test the oil with one of the shrimp if it starts to bubble lightly at the edges it is hot enough. In batches, not touching, fry the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are cooked through, curled, and opaque. They will not get a lot of color on them from frying since we are using cornstarch.
• Drain them on a paper-towel-lined plate while you fry the additional shrimp.
• Add the shrimp and walnuts to a large bowl, pour the sauce on top.
• Toss everything together until combined.
• Serve with a garnish of scallions.
• Enjoy every bite!

Steps:

• Place the walnuts in a saucepan with water and sugar. Cook over medium to medium-high heat until the sugar begins to brown. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and pour the walnuts onto the paper or the foil and let dry for 20 to 25 minutes, spreading them out with a fork so they don't touch each other. When the walnuts are almost dry, begin to prepare the tempura according to the package directions.
• Add enough oil to a pan to cover the bottom 2 to 3 inches; heat the oil to 350 ºF. Dip the shrimp into the tempura batter, covering the shrimp completely. Drop into the hot oil a few at a time and gently toss to make sure the shrimp cook evenly on all sides and they don't stick together. Scoop out any batter that floats away from the shrimp to keep the oil from breaking down. Remove the shrimp after about 2 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to drain.
• To make the sauce, whisk together the honey, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and mayonnaise. When all the shrimp are cooked, place it in a bowl and drizzle on the sauce. Stir to coat the shrimp, but be careful not to break off the crust. Sprinkle the candied walnuts over the shrimp and serve immediately. This recipe should be eaten in one sitting - this recipe does not reheat or freeze well.
