The Perrin Family favorite when we go to China Village. Took years to master at home! *You will be making use of your dishwasher for this one.

Instructions
- Place shrimp in a bowl of water with salt (peel if needed).

- In a separate bowl, mix flour, tempura, panko.
- In another separate bowl, mix mayo, lemon, lime, and condensed milk.
- Dip shrimp in egg bowl, then flour bowl, then fry in oil. Oil should be hot enough to quickly fry – don’t overcook.

Notes
- The trick to make it taste the closest to China Village is the amount of lemon/lime mixed in and no healthy alternatives (that’s right!). Unfortunately, you can’t tell until it is already mixed with the shrimp.
- Also called mayonnaise shrimp, or honey shrimp in restaurants.
