Chinese Candied Walnuts

2. In a bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy. Dip each shrimp into the egg whites, and then roll in cornstarch.
3. Fill a skillet with about 2 inches of oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp until they are golden and crispy. Remove and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.
4. Toss the fried shrimp in the sauce until well coated.
5. Plate the shrimp, sprinkled with candied walnuts. Serve immediately.
