Instructions
For Walnuts:
  1. Melt the butter in a large, nonstick skillet, then add the walnuts and brown sugar.
  2. Cook on medium heat, continuing to toss the walnuts so they are all coated evenly with the butter and sugar.
  3. Once they are all coated (about 3-5 minutes), dump them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool.
For Honey Sauce:
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey and condensed milk; set aside.
For Shrimp:
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  2. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. Working one at a time, dip the shrimp into the egg, then dredge in the cornstarch, coating evenly.
  4. Add the shrimp to the skillet, 8-10 at a time, and fry until evenly golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes on each side (shrimp are done when they turn pink). *NOTE: Because they cook so fast, it's easier to fry them in smaller sets, which makes it easier when flipping them over to make them cook evenly.*
  5. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet.
  6. In a large bowl, combine shrimp and honey sauce.
  7. Serve immediately, topped with the candied walnuts. These shrimp go well with rice, lo mein and quinoa, but also go down easily on their own!
