walnut shrimp

Sweet crunchy crustacean

Walnut shrimp is a Chinese-American dish of battered, deep-fried shrimp tossed in a sweet mayonnaise-based sauce and topped with candied walnuts.

The shrimp are typically large and crispy, the sauce creamy and slightly tangy.

A staple of American Chinese restaurant menus: We always order the walnut shrimp when we go there.
