Honey walnut shrimp is a Western-inspired Cantonese dish of lightly battered shrimp tossed with nuts in a mayonnaise based sauce. It is common at Chinese banquet meals. The English Wikipedia article says the dish may have originated in Hong Kong before spreading to the United States, so its origin is stated as a possibility and not as settled fact. The name points to the sweetness of honey and the walnuts that accompany the crisp shrimp.
