Crispy Honey Walnut Shrimp

This Honey Walnut Shrimp tastes as good as it sounds.

I love shrimp and this deep fried version with candied walnuts is just what I was looking for.  It also has a delicious dipping sauce that includes lemon juice, mayonnaise, honey and sweetened condensed milk.  That combination may sound a bit unusual, but is surprisingly tasty.

Delight your family and friends with this recipe on a special occasion.  Enjoy!
