The best way to reheat fried shrimp is under a broiler. The dish is made complete with a topping of candied nuts, in this case cashews, adding another layer of flavor and crunch. This allows the shrimp to be crispy and golden brown, without the texture being too heavy or bready.Īfter frying, the shrimp are tossed in a tangy, creamy lemon-honey sauce. In our recipe, we use a batter of egg and cornstarch. The key to making crispy shrimp is to coat them in batter and deep fry them. One thing is for certain after you make this sweet and savory dish at home, you will never want to pay restaurant prices for it again! This dish has also made its way into the popular Asian restaurant franchise, Panda Express. It is widely popular on the west coast, primarily in the San Francisco area, where fresh shrimp is plentiful. Where did Honey Cashew Shrimp originate?Īlthough it’s primarily served in the United States, this shrimp dinner originates from Hong Kong. This Asian dish is a success with kids as well, thanks to it sweet taste.

This dish is best with leftover Jasmine rice, which is perfect for me since I never seem to make the correct amount of rice for a meal. I’ve also reduced the soy sauce because I found it was a bit salty and I don’t buy a low-sodium version, but again, this might vary depending on the brand you buy. I find that the amount of stock needed depends entirely on your rice. I found the original recipe in a Fine Cooking magazine and have adapted it to include more shrimp, vegetables and a tiny bit of chicken or vegetable stock to give it a bit of moisture. But then again, it might taste like a party in your mouth and totally blow your mind, so I guess you’ll only know once you’ve tried it. Now, if you are the “traditional” fried rice sort (scrambled eggs, peas, etc.), this Thai variation may not be for you. But then again, I’m no culinary expert, so maybe it’s totally doable?

I don’t know what it is about the fruit and nut combination that makes me all aflutter, but it works, so I just go with it. If that recipe includes shrimp, cashews and pineapple, even better. So when I find a healthy recipe that I can get on the table in 30 minutes (including prep time), I jump all over it. and start throwing supper together immediately.
