Honey Walnut Shrimp

My sister decided to make honey walnut shrimp. It's like the only thing that she goes back for seconds and thirds at the buffet and the only plate she herself can wolf down at the restaurant. She never made this before, so today was her first try. It turned out pretty well actually, give hilarious moments such as when she tried to get a broken eggshell out of the egg whites and how she dropped the shrimp when she was picking it up. Like I said, hilarious. Now I had my doubts. I ate her home made cookies before...they tasted well, but well...they can break teeth. Not to mention when she was mixing in the mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, and condense milk, it looked totally funky. However, it turned out quite well. Delicious actually. The walnuts were kind of funky because they weren't fresh. So I suggest using the fresh walnuts since it would be crunchier. Overall, kudos to my sister. So here's what she shared:

-Shrimp, peeled and deveined, dipped into egg whites and covered with corn starch, and fried in a skillet.
-Sauce: mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, and condense milk mixed together unless you get a desired taste and a slightly liquid concoction.
-Walnuts: heat up sugar and water and put the walnuts into the pot. After it boils, drain and leave walnuts on wax paper so the sugar can caramelized.
-Mix the fried shrimp with sauce and walnuts..and eat!
