Sulhee Jessica Woo's 30-Minute Crispy Honey-Walnut Shrimp Is a Hit with Kids and Adults

You don’t need Uber Eats to get restaurant-quality Chinese-American food.

Sulhee Jessica Woo shares her recipe for Crispy Honey Walnut Shrimp, which comes together in 30 minutes.

“It’s the perfect mix of sweet and salty flavors,” says the chef who lists this dish in her cookbook Let’s make lunch — but it promises to be an excellent school dinner. “It’s a crowd-pleaser at any time of day: perfect for busy school dinners or a convenient lunch option for the next day.”

Best of all, everyone in the family will love it. “Kids enjoy the crunchy texture of the shrimp, the creamy sauce and the crunch of the candied walnuts, and parents love that it’s easy to prepare and takes less than 30 minutes,” she says.

To really enhance the crunch, “dry the shrimp with a paper towel before coating them with cornstarch,” says Woo. “This helps the coating adhere better and creates a crispier texture.”

3. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add walnuts; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let drain.

7. Add the shrimp to the honey mixture and toss to coat. Gently mix in the preserved walnuts. Serve over rice and sprinkle with spring onions.
