Honey Walnut Shrimp Recipe by Yumna Jawad from Feel Good Foodie.

Ingredients

Candied walnuts

• ½ cup walnut halves
• 2 tablespoons cane sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons water

Shrimp

• 1 pound large shrimp
• 3 tablespoons arrowroot starch
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Honey Sauce

• 2 tablespoons avocado mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For Serving

• Rice
• Shredded green cabbage
• Green onions

Directions

1. In a non-stick skillet on medium heat, add butter, walnuts, sugar, and water.
2. Stir until all the sugar melts and the walnuts are coated in the sugar mixture; approximately 5 minutes.
3. Transfer onto a sheet of parchment paper and separate the nuts right away. Allow the nuts to harden and wipe down the skillet.
4. In a bowl, toss the shrimp in arrowroot starch, garlic powder, and salt. Stir to combine until evenly coated.
5. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and cook the shrimp. Turn occasionally until they are fully cooked; approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado mayonnaise, honey, and lemon juice. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and toss to combine. Add the candied walnuts on top.
7. Serve the shrimp on top of cooked rice and shaved green cabbage, sesame seeds, and green onions.
