[Ingredients for Panda Express Copycat HoneyWalnut Shrimp]
-
For the Shellfish: 1 lb extra-large shrimp (approximately 21/25 inches in length)
-
For the Sauce: ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (or substitute with honey), 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, ½ teaspoon soy sauce

[Instructions for Panda Express Copycat HoneyWalnut Shrimp]
-
Prepare the Shrimp: Thaw the shrimp and butterfly them by making a small horizontal slit down the back of each shrimp. This ensures that the shrimp cooks evenly and provides a larger surface area for the batter to adhere to.
-
Batter the Shrimp: In a bowl, whisk together 1 egg with ½ teaspoon onion powder and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Add the shrimp to the mixture and turn them to coat evenly.
-
Coat the Shrimp in Starch: Place ½ cup cornstarch on a large plate. Take each shrimp and roll it in the cornstarch to completely cover it.
-
Deep Fry the Shrimp: Heat oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to 350°F (177°C). Add the shrimp in batches and fry each one for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown.
-
Cool the Shrimp: Once the shrimp are fried, let them rest on a wire rack to allow the oil to drain and the crust to soften slightly.
-
Make the Sauce: While the shrimp are cooling, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweetened condensed milk, rice vinegar, and soy sauce to create the ideal honey walnut shrimp sauce.
-
Assemble the Dish: Pour the sauce over the fried shrimp and toss them gently to coat. Decorate with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
The end result is a succulent, crispy shrimp seasoned with a sweet and savory sauce, topped with sweet, roasted walnuts—the perfect combination that is sure to delight any Chinese cuisine aficionado.
