Note

Alternative ways to serve these honey walnut shrimp include with noodles, in a tortilla or lettuce wrap, or with a healthier brown rice.
Pat the shrimp dry before coating and cooking.
The pan needs to be hot when you add the shrimp, and each round of shrimp should lead room between each piece. Prepare in batches.
Variations on the recipe can include changing the nuts you use, adding fruit, using syrup or brown sugar instead of honey, adding a bit of cayenne or jalapeno for heat, and using all-purpose flour or arrowroot starch instead of cornstarch.
