I ate at a really yummy Chinese buffet yesterday, ?!
One of the items was walnut shrimp!. Or that's what the sign said but it tasted nothing like walnuts or any other kind of nut!.
It was a small shrimp in a creamy white sauce!. the sauce was a little sweet, and the shrimp may have been lightly breaded and fried first!. Has anyone had this and do you know how to make it!? I would love to make it and have it again!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think that would be Honey Walnut Shrimp!. Usually the ones at the buffet doesn't include Walnuts, but if you were to dine in at a Chinese Restaurant then it would come with it!. I've tried many buffets and it's been that way!. I enjoy eating it without the walnuts anyways!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
