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