Walnuts are given a brown sugar coating that pairs nicely with sweet and savory shrimp in our version of this popular restaurant dish. Serve the shrimp with rice and steamed veggies to make it a full, healthy meal. This ultra-quick dinner recipe is sure to become a new weeknight favorite.

Directions

Step 1
Bring water and brown sugar to a simmer in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in walnuts; cook, stirring often, until the sugar is golden and caramelized, about 2 minutes. Spread the walnuts evenly on a parchment paper-lined plate. Wipe out the pan.

Step 2
Stir shrimp, honey and 1 tablespoon oil together in a bowl. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the shrimp mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are well browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, pepper, salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl; add to the shrimp mixture in the pan, stirring to coat. Sprinkle with the caramelized walnuts and scallions. If desired, serve with rice.

Very Tasty, I served on top of a spring mix salad instead of rice.

186 mg. of cholesterol? Not so heart healthy. I'd love to try it but I can't.

This is listed under a low Cholesterol meal plan, which is ridiculous. The daily limit to lower your cholesterol is 200 this recipe has 186 listed in it nutritional values.
The first recipe for salmon, sweet potatoes and broccoli, gives no cholesterol amounts, has sirloin steak and carrots listed in the ingredient lists and it lists no broccoli.
How can any one have faith that you are giving solid information for them to follow when your meal plan is far from correct.
