Since my Fiance likes this dish from a local restaurant I decided to try it. The preparation took longer than I expected. I followed the recipe exactly except I used corn starch instead of the Water chestnut starch. The sauce was not sweet enough and the walnuts didn't carmelize like I expected. The shrimp was done perfectly and had an excellent flavor - A new way to cook my shrimp. If I make this dish again I would want to have a nice glaze on the Walnuts and would add some honey to sweeten sauce. Thanks for taking the time to post this recipe.
