Preparation Steps
- Pat the large shrimp very dry using paper towels and preheat oil in a skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- In another bowl, beat the egg and add water. Slowly pour this into the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
- Dip the prepared shrimp into the batter, ensuring an even coating. Allow excess batter to drip off.
- Fry the battered shrimp in small batches for about 2-3 minutes until light golden. Drain on a wire rack.
- Let the fried shrimp rest for about 5 minutes, then increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) for the second fry.
- Return the shrimp to the hot oil for a second frying for 1-2 minutes until crispy and golden.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, sweetened condensed milk, honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until smooth.
- Toast the pecans in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned.
- Gently toss the warm, fried shrimp in the prepared glaze just before serving.
- Plate the glazed shrimp and sprinkle with toasted pecans and sliced green onions.

Notes
