Method

  1. 1 Boil the walnuts for 2 minutes, then drain them thoroughly.
  2. 2 Simmer the walnuts in honey for 6 minutes, not in sugar syrup.
  3. 3 Coating with honey creates a thin, fragrant floral layer, while coating with sugar creates a thick, hard, candy-like layer.
  4. 4 Spread the walnuts on parchment paper to cool and separate them into individual kernels.
  5. 5 Peel the shrimp, coat them in egg whites and cornstarch, then fry at 180 degrees for 90 seconds.
  6. 6 Mix mayonnaise with honey and lemon juice, then add shrimp and sprinkle with walnuts and sesame seeds.

With an appliance
