Method

  1. 1 Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact, then remove the black vein and pat them dry.
  2. 2 Make three incisions on the underside of the shrimp so that it stays straight and doesn't curl up when fried.
  3. 3 Coat the shrimp in cornstarch and then deep-fry in oil at 180 degrees for 2 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. 4 Mix mayonnaise with fresh milk, honey, and lemon juice to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
  5. 5 Mix the shrimp with the sauce in a dry bowl while it's still hot, then sprinkle with chopped scallions and pepper, and serve immediately.

    Replace step 3: lightly spray cornstarch-coated shrimp with oil, air fry at 195 degrees for 6 minutes, flipping at the 3rd minute; steps 4 and 5 still involve preparing the sauce and mixing it with the shrimp while still hot.
