Why have I never tried this at Panda Express?? It sounds and looks amazing! I will just have to try it out at home!
This looks really good! I’ve never tried it at Panda Express, but I’ll have to give your recipe a try because I love shrimp!
I’ve never had honey walnut shrimp, but it sounds fantastic. Do you think instead of frying, the shrimp could be just sauteed? Just thinking about the health factor (plus fryers terrify me… I’m a wuss, I know). Loving your blog!
Haha I am scared of frying too (every time!). I don’t think the coating would work well sautéed, but you could probably bake it instead. Air fryer might work too!
