This is hands down my favorite honey walnut shrimp I’ve ever tasted. It surpasses all the ones I’ve tried at various Chinese restaurants and of course blows the panda express version out of the water.

Author's Notes
You can also buy candied walnuts and skip steps 1-3. Frozen shrimp is okay too. That’s what we normally use and thaw beforehand. Some recipes leave the tails on, but we took them off because they’re easier to eat that way.
