1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
1 Pound Large Shrimp- Peeled and Deveined

Instructions

In a small saucepan, stir together water and sugar and bring to a boil.
Carefully stir in the walnuts and boil for 2 minutes.
Remove walnuts with a slotted spoon, gently shaking to drain all the water, then spread out on a baking sheet to dry.
In a medium bowl, using a handheld electric mixer beat egg whites until foamy.
Mix in the mochiko until combined. Add the shrimp to the batter, a few at a time, shaking to remove any excess batter.
Heat oil in a medium saucepan to 350 degrees. Add shrimp and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, and sweetened condensed milk. Add the fried shrimp and toss to coat. Spread on a serving dish and sprinkle with candied walnuts and green onions. Serve.
