One of the best Chinese seafood dishes is honey walnut shrimp. Honey walnut shrimp is very popular in many restaurants. This dish is actually pretty cheap compared to most shrimp dishes. The shrimp is the only item on the ingredient list that is somewhat expensive. The steps are very easy – the shrimp are

lightly battered, deep fried and then tossed with a honey sauce. The real treat here is the candied walnuts, they are delicious! If get some shrimp that are already peeled and deveined this dish can be on the table in about a half hour. Enjoy.
