Honey Walnut Prawns

Honey Walnut Prawns

This crispy, tender shrimp in a sweet and creamy honey sauce is just as good as takeout - we swear. Cornstarch gives the shrimp a delightful crunch, and the caramelized nuts take this walnut shrimp over the top. It’s finger-licking good and makes the perfect meal when paired with rice or shishito peppers.
