Chinese Honey Walnut Shrimp ... Easy & Yummy

This "Chinese Honey Walnut Shrimp" menu caught in my head all the time right after seeing one of my subscribed pages sharing the recipe on their site.  However, shrimps in that recipe are cooked by steaming which is not what I am craving for and looking for.  I prefer deep fried shrimps which remind me of my favorite dish I had in the Chinese Restaurant.  Therefore, I started searching on YouTube and found one recipe that is easy and look very yummy like I want it to be.  Especially, I have all required ingredients on hand at home!...Hooray!!!  So let 's get started:

Ingredients: 

(PS: This is my version since I did twist a recipe a bit to make it easier for me to cook...hahaha)

Step 4: Assemble the yummy dish
