I had no idea what to expect when I ordered this Chinese dish. What I got were about eighteen medium shrimp fried in a thin batter that was so crispy it all but shattered when I bit into it. The crispy shrimp were coated in a thin layer of slightly creamy and sweet sauce, and the dish was served with candied walnut halves. The overall profile was sweet and crunchy. Although I ordered this in a Sichuan restaurant, this dish is Cantonese, and I was told that it should not be served with hot sauce. The pairing of shrimp with walnut was interesting, but the incredibly crisp thin batter on the shrimp was definitely noteworthy.
