15 minutes
Cool: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
Walnuts
1/2 oz. (about 2 tbsp.) chopped walnuts
1 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. light butter
1 dash salt
Shrimp & Sauce
8 oz. (about 16) raw large shrimp, peeled, tails removed, deveined
1 1/2 tbsp. whole wheat flour
1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 cup (about 2 large) egg whites or liquid egg substitute
2 tbsp. light mayonnaise
1 tbsp. honey
Optional topping: scallions
Serving suggestions: riced cauliflower and/or brown rice
Directions:
Lay out a piece of aluminum foil for walnuts to cool on after they’re cooked. Bring a skillet to medium-high heat. Add walnuts, sugar, and butter to the skillet. Stirring constantly, cook until butter has melted and walnuts are coated in the sugar-butter mixture, 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat, and sprinkle in salt. Spread mixture onto the foil and let cool completely, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place shrimp in a large sealable bag or container. Add flour. Seal bag/container, and shake to coat.
In a wide bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, and chili powder. Mix well.
Place egg whites/substitute in a second wide bowl. Coat shrimp with egg, followed by the seasoned crumbs.
Spray an air fryer with non-aerosol nonstick spray. Place shrimp in the air fryer, and top with any remaining bread crumbs. Spray with nonstick spray.
Set air fryer to 390ºF. Cook until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, 8–10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix mayo with honey until uniform.
Place shrimp in a large bowl. Add honey sauce and walnuts, and gently toss to coat.
