A restaurant rescipe for a delicious sweet and nutty coated shrimp ! This is a recipe patterened after the oriental honey shrimp, pieces of white bonesless chicken can also be prepared this way. The mayo sauce is really delicious and until I got the recipe, I always wondered how they prepared the dish sometimes called sweet milk shrimp or sweet milk chicken
