Drain excess water from walnuts and shrimp.

Prepare a simple brine with salt, baking soda, and cornstarch for the shrimp and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Heat a pan and add white sugar and a little water to make a caramel.

Add a small amount of honey to the caramel mixture.

Once the caramel is a nice color, add the walnuts and cook until they are brown, optionally adding butter and a sprinkle of salt.

Set the caramelized walnuts aside to cool down.

Rinse the shrimp to remove the baking soda and excess moisture.

In a bowl, mix egg white, salt, and pepper to season the shrimp.

Add cornstarch and flour to the shrimp and mix to coat them.

Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the shrimp until golden and crispy.

In a separate bowl, mix one tablespoon of mayonnaise, one tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk, and two tablespoons of honey, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Toss the fried shrimp and walnuts in the sweet sauce until well coated.
