Prawns + Walnuts + Mayonnaise = Yum

I had an online conversation with Claire about fusion food. She mentioned that she likes it, and I maintained my general dislike of fusion. What can I say, I'm a food purist...

But then again, there's one bit of fusion cuisine that I really like.  It's walnut prawns.  I think it's from Hong Kong originally, although I oculd be completely wrong about that. But what I do know is that it's heavenly. Shrimp are coated in corn starch and then deep fried. They end up with a light crust but don't have a heavy coating of batter like sweet and sour dishes. They are garnished with glazed walnuts and a mayonnaise based sauce.

Isn't this the shrimp from the restaurant on Pico, east of Bundy, across the street from the San Francisco saloon?

They might have had it. I first ate it up in Northern California and lately I've eaten it at a place in Lomita.
