  • 1 egg whites, no yolk needed
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¼ tsp white pepper

Instructions

  • Defrost the shrimp if needed, pat dry with paper towels.
    Beat the egg white in a medium bowl until it is slightly frothy, then toss in the shrimp and coat with the egg white.
  • Add in the cornstarch and white pepper and mix until the shrimp are coated in a thin white batter.
  • Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a small, heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp (one at a time so they don't stick together), in small batches. Cook approximately 2 to 3 minutes, until the shrimp curl in slightly and turn a light golden brown.
    Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and set aside on a paper towel lined plate. Continue cooking until all the shrimp are fried.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining the sweetened condensed milk, kewpie mayo, honey and sesame oil in a small dish.
  • Place the fried shrimp in a clean bowl and drizzle with the white sauce, tossing to coat each shrimp. Add in the walnuts and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
MAKE AHEAD:
You can prepare the sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Fry the shrimp (do not add the sauce yet), let cool and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Just before serving, either flash fry (reheat in hot oil) or air fry the shrimp until heated through and crisp. Toss with the prepared sauce and enjoy.
