Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
  • 1 pound jumbo peeled, deveined raw shrimp
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sliced scallions
  • 2 cup hot cooked brown riced or white rice (optional)

Instructions

  • Bring water and brown sugar to a simmer in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in walnuts; cook, stirring often, until the sugar is golden and caramelized, about 2 minutes. Spread the walnuts evenly on a parchment paper-lined plate. Wipe out the pan.

  • Step 2

    Stir shrimp, honey and 1 tablespoon oil together in a bowl. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the shrimp mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are well browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, pepper, salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl; add to the shrimp mixture in the pan, stirring to coat. Sprinkle with the caramelized walnuts and scallions. If desired, serve with rice.
