My folks go out for Chinese Food every Friday night. In fact, the whole family often meet at their favorite restaurant. There’s usually 10-12 family members and everyone gathers around the table. There’s lots of laughter and a ton of food passed.

It’s always a great time!

I’m a big fan of Asian food and have several great recipes on the blog. Step by step directions on how to make Tuna Poke – so good!!! Korean BBQ Beef and Korean Beef and Broccoli, YUM!! Even Pot Stickers and Fried Rice. There is something for everyone!

So it seems only fitting on today to share one of my quick and easy recipes. It’s a great meal that everyone loves. My Panda Express Honey Walnut Shrimp Recipe uses an easy shortcut and is on the table in about 20 minutes!

Honey Walnut Shrimp

This is one of those meals when I first thought of the idea I was like hmmm…. how can I make this dish without all of the hassles?

I don’t want to be frying or breading and then all that cleanup? UGH! Well, let me tell you frozen shrimp is the way to go!

I used Coconut Shrimp in this recipe. The coating is super crunchy, even when tossed in the sweet sauce.

Where did honey shrimp originate?

Hong Kong perhaps, but most often enjoyed in the United States. This is a dish we see quite often here in California. Have you ever tried it?

How do you reheat honey walnut shrimp?

Putting the shrimp in a bowl and into the microwave will result in soggy shrimp. The best way to reheat this meal is by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Add the shrimp to an oven proof dish for about 15 minutes.

Grocery list for Shrimp Recipe

Making candied walnuts is simple. Water, sugar and walnuts boiled together. Remove them from the liquid and allow to cool on parchment paper.
