Equipment

  • sheet pan
  • Spatula
  • small sauce pan
  • Medium mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 8-10 Jumbo coconut frozen shrimp or use your favorite frozen breaded shrimp. I prefer the jumbo coconut shrimp
  • Candied Walnuts
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • Sauce
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
  • 2 green onions (optional garnish) slice the green onions on the bias, set aside for garnish.
  • 1.5 cups white rice (I used a quick cooking jasmine rice) cook according to package directions. Or serve over brown rice if you'd prefer.

Instructions

  • Cook rice according to product directions.
  • Preheat the oven according to package directions.
  • While oven is preheating make the candied walnuts. Bring water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. Boil for two minutes, stirring often.

  • Add the ½ cup walnut halves and cook an additional two minutes. Remove from the boiling sugar with a slotted spoon and allow to cool on parchment paper.
    After boiling the candied walnuts, they are removed from the sugar mixture and placed on a paper towel to cool.
  • Cook the frozen shrimp according to product directions.
  • Make the sauce. Mix mayonnaise, honey, sweetened condensed milk and chili garlic sauce in a large bowl. Whisk together to combine.

Notes

The best way to reheat this meal is by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Add the shrimp to an oven proof dish and bake for about 15 minutes or until crispy.
