These honey walnut shrimp are fried to golden perfection and served with white rice.

One aspect of food blogging I really enjoy is recreating restaurant favorites at home. If I may shamelessly toot my own horn, I’ve had a quite a few delicious successes with copycatting dishes in my kitchen.

Remember the salt and pepper pork chops from a few months back? I’m still stoked on how they turned out just like what you can get from a Chinese restaurant, if not better! And the baked cheese shrimp? Just as addicting as Hokkaido’s!

These lightly battered shrimps are coated in a tasty sauce and topped with walnuts.

This honey walnut shrimp, however, I can’t take credit for. I came across the recipe at Allrecipes and since we almost always order this shrimp dish when we dine out at our neighborhood Chinese restaurant, I was excited to learn how to prepare it. With lightly battered shrimp and candied walnuts in a sweet, creamy sauce, it’s so good you won’t believe how easy it is to make at home.

Here are a few tips to note:

  • Whisk the batter well to ensure it’s light and airy, a thinner batter means a crispier crust.
  • Pat the shrimps dry for the batter for coating to adhere well.
  • Make sure to deep-fry at the optimal 350 F to 375 F. Do not overcrowd the pan and fry in batches as needed to prevent the temperature from plummeting.
  • Use the right kind of oil. Peanut or canola oil are great for high temp cooking.
