Equipment

  • sheet pan

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

Step one

  • Cook rice according to product directions.
  • Preheat the oven according to package directions.

Step two

  • 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.

Step three

  • 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.
  • Remove the shrimp from the oven. Immediately toss the crispy shrimp and the caramelized walnuts in the sweet creamy sauce to coat. Spoon over rice, sprinkle with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

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.
