WALNUT SHRIMPS

Since I'm in my writing mood, today I'm going to share this recipe, another favorite of mine ( I know... I have so many favorite foods hihi). The first time I ate it was at a fine dining Chinese Restaurant, a few days after I got married, my father in law took us there, my mom was there too as she stayed a couple of weeks with us after attending our wedding reception. I fell in love with it, and every time we dined there I would order it, there were so many ways to cook it, every restaurants have their own ways, some are good some are not so good.


After browsing the recipes on the net, I found an easy way to cook it, my way and I like how it turns out.
