Crispy Walnut Shrimp
Hello, I live in the midwest, and have found this wonderful dish at only one Chinese restaurant. Crispy Walnut Shrimp is a dish where the shrimp are covered with a sweet coating, a sweet gravy, and served over broccoli ( or pea pods ) and glazed walnuts. This restaurant claims it is a more traditional dish that comes from California. Any help on its origin? Or why it may not be as popular in the midwest? Any fans of this delicacy. Thanks! Tom |

One of the reasons *I* don't like it so much. -- Aloha, Nathan Lau San Jose, CA #include <std.disclaimer> |

One of the reasons *I* don't like it so much. I've had this a few times at Chinese banquets, and I don't care for it. I'd rather have the seafood in birds nest appetizer. -- Dan |

My father calls it Shrimp Grand Marnier.... he makes it for us whenever he comes to visit. I don't have an exact recipe but it is made from mayonnaise, pineapple juice and Grand Marnier to your liking and drizzled over panfried shrimp. I guess the idea is to dilute the mayo enough that it is perfect to drizzle. |

Crispy Walnut Shrimp
i got the following from http://www.hungrymonster.com they have a TON of other chinese recipes==here's the exact link: http://www.hungrymonster.com/recipe/...ch=Chinese&ttl =630 Honey-Walnut Prawns Course : Chinese Serves: 4 Ingredients: Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1/2 cup walnuts 5 cups water 1 cup sugar 2 cups oil 16 medium prawns -- peeled and cleaned 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 cup egg whites 2 tablespoons honey 3 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1/2 tablespoon condensed milk 1/2 cup oil * Preparation: Here's a goody. I normally shy away from Western influenced Chinese recipes and would never have fixed this one on my own. It calls for such non-Chinese things as milk and mayonnaise. My room mate fixed it the other night though, and it was excellent. He was trying to duplicate a dish that he and his date had at a Chinese place a while back and apparently, this is almost it. Laurie suggested it would be closer to the restaurant dish by just dusting the shrimp with cornstarch rather than making a batter. I imagine that it would be good either way. It certainly is good this way! Rinse walnuts, then boil in 5 cups water, continually changing water until clear. When clear, boil with sugar until sugar dissolves. Heat 2 cups oil until almost smoking, then deep-fry walnuts until they're shiny and brown, no longer golden. Remove walnuts to cookie sheet, let cool. Mix cornstarch and egg whites together to form a thick, sticky texture and mix well with prawns. Set aside. Mix honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice and condensed milk in a medium bowl until smooth. Heat oil until boiling, then deep fry prawns until golden brown. Drain, then fold in honey-mayonnaise mixture. mix well, sprinkle with walnuts, and arrange on platter. * > From: "RLK" dashes_> > Newsgroups: alt.food.asian > Date: Sun, 06 Jun 2004 21:40:23 GMT > Subject: Crispy Walnut Shrimp > > "Tom Cardinal" > > >> I live in the midwest, and have found this wonderful dish at >> only one Chinese restaurant.
