Our take on a Chinese-restaurant favorite uses the same ingredients, but skips the heavy batter and deep frying. If you can't get jumbo shrimp, use 1 pound of the largest shrimp you can find.
I think the first part is the salad portion and isn't meant to be cooked. The shrimp mixture goes on top of it.
You put the hot shrimp over the veggie mixture as the last step. It's a bed of veggies - like a salad.
So what do you do with the mayonnaise-vegetable mixture that was set aside in Step 1 ???
My guess is that the shrimp should first be added to the honey-soy sauce mixture, then cooked in the frying pan until just beginning to turn pink, about 30 seconds. Add mayonnaise-vegetable mixture and cook, stirring, until shrimp is cooked through and sauce is thickened, about 1 minute...
I used broccoli slaw in place of the cabbage. Easy to put together and good taste
This was an easy and delicious weekday meal. I didn't make any major changes: just slightly smaller shrimp and no red chile flakes - my family doesn't eat anything with even a hint of heat! Still very good
