Honey Walnut Prawns

1 pound medium or large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup walnuts
5 cups water
1/2 cup oil
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup egg whites
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup oil

Rinse walnuts, then boil in 5 cups water, continually changing water until clear. When clear, boil with sugar until sugar dissolves.

Heat 1/2 cup oil until almost smoking, then saute walnuts until they're shiny and brown, sprinkling the sugar into the pan with walnuts and stirring to coat well. Walnuts should be brown, no longer golden. Place walnuts on cookie sheet; let cool.

Mix cornstarch and egg whites together to form a thick, sticky texture and mix well with shrimp. Set aside.

Mix honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl until smooth.

Heat 1/2 cup oil until boiling, then deep fry the shrimp until golden brown. Drain, then fold in honey mayonnaise mixture. Mix well, sprinkle with walnuts, and arrange on platter.
