Honey-Walnut Prawns

crazymom's Note:

Crunchy sweet walnuts with crispy prawns--a wonderful combination. Don't let the mayonnaise part throw you off--it is very good.

This is sooo good. I'm 13 & I made this & both my family and I enjoyed it a lot. It's almost better than what we always order at the Chinese restaurant! But good enough. :) Thanks for the recipe! (& I think I used more mayo and sweetened condensed milk)
