Ingredients
Candied walnuts
- ½ cup walnut halves
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons water
Shrimp
- 1 pound large shrimp
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot starch
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Honey Sauce
- 2 tablespoons avocado mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For Serving
- Rice

Directions
- In a non-stick skillet on medium heat, add butter, walnuts, sugar, and water.
- Stir until all the sugar melts and the walnuts are coated in the sugar mixture; approximately 5 minutes.
- Transfer onto a sheet of parchment paper and separate the nuts right away. Allow the nuts to harden and wipe down the skillet.
- In a bowl, toss the shrimp in arrowroot starch, garlic powder, and salt. Stir to combine until evenly coated.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and cook the shrimp. Turn occasionally until they are fully cooked; approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado mayonnaise, honey, and lemon juice. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and toss to combine. Add the candied walnuts on top.
- Serve the shrimp on top of cooked rice and shaved green cabbage, sesame seeds, and green onions.
