Rinse and dry shrimp, then place in a large ziploc bag.
Add egg white and salt to the bag of shrimp and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
While shrimp is marinating make the sauce in a medium bowl. Whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, sweetened condensed milk, and fresh lemon juice. Set aside.
While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the candied walnuts. In a medium skillet, combine the walnuts, sugar, and butter. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once done, quickly transfer the walnuts to a sheet of parchment paper and use a spatula to separate them before they cool.
After shrimp has marinated, add cornstarch to the bag and toss to coat.
Heat oil in a medium skillet. Place shrimp in hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes. Shrimp will be pink when cooked. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and place on cooling rack to let the excess oil drip off. Make sure to not overcook the shrimp.
Put shrimp in the bowl with the sauce and toss with the sauce to combine.
Serve over hot rice and top with candied walnuts.
