Boil walnuts for a few minutes, remove and cool, so the skin separates. Let cool
Combine the water, sugar, honey, and walnuts in a small pan, over medium heat, until the mixture caramelizes. Remove from heat and spread onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Once cooled, deep fry walnuts until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
To make the sauce, combine the mayonnaise, condensed milk, half and half, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Adjust to taste by adding more condensed milk, lemon juice, and/or salt. Set aside.
Boil the shrimp for 10 seconds and drain. This step should help the cornstarch adhere much better to the shrimp. Dredge in cornstarch that has been well-seasoned with salt and pepper, making sure each shrimp is adequately coated. Deep fry until shrimp turns pink, about 1-2 minutes.
In a bowl, place 2-3 tablespoons of sauce and add the shrimp and walnuts and mix well and arrange in a serving dish.
For dinner meal, serve with cooked broccoli.
