Ingredients:
- 1-pound large raw shrimp, peeled
- ½ cup Better Halves Southern Praline Pecans
- 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
Directions:
- Remove the tails from the shrimp and devein if necessary. Set aside.
- Mix the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Preheat the oil in a high sided frying pan to about 350° F (between medium-to-medium high heat). 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.
- Whisk together the egg whites and cornstarch until well combined. Add the shrimp. Fry in batches until golden brown and all the shrimp is cooked.
- Toss the cooked shrimp with the sauce and candied nuts. Serve immediately over rice, pasta, greens, or anything you’re craving!
