Honey Shrimp with Rice!

So for this recipe, I was just REALLY hungry and really wanted to make put something together really fast. This isn't the healthiest, but I guess I can consider it my 'last meal' haha. I don't remember exactly how much the proportions were in the recipe, so try to use your best judgement and flavor to taste :)

Ingredients:

2 cups of uncooked shrimp
1 cup of flour
1 egg
1/2 cup of water
1/3 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of honey
1 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1 tbsp of cayenne pepper powder
1 tbsp of black pepper
1 cup of uncooked jasmine rice
Canola oil for frying

Directions:
  1. Boil a quart of water until it starts to boil, and then drop the shrimps in. You can add a pinch of salt and seasoning if you're feeling kinda frisky. Keep them in there until they start to float and turn into a pinkish orangeish color.
  2. If you have a rice cooker, now would be a great time to cook the rice. Make sure you wash and rinse the rice until the water almost turns clear. If you don't have a rice cooker, you can google how to cook rice on a stove top :)
  3. Drain the shrimp and place them on napkins to dry. Next, grab the flour, egg, water, and sugar. Mix them until you have a smooth creamy batter. You don't want it to be too runny, so if you feel like there's too much water, add some more flour. In the meantime, heat up some oil in a frying pan but make sure it's on medium heat. You don't want to burn yourself when the oil ricochets after you drop the shrimps in!
  4. In another medium sized bowl, mix the mayonnaise, honey, cayenne pepper, and black pepper together. This is when you can go wild and season it to taste!
  5. Grab the shrimps from the napkins and pour them all into the batter. Stir it around a bit until the shrimps are completely covered in batter.
  6. Go over to the frying pan and test to see if the oil is ready. You can do this by adding a drop of the batter and seeing if it starts sizzling or not. If it doesn't, just wait for a few more minutes. If it is ready, then go ahead and drop a few shrimps in. You don't want to put too much in there because you won't be able to keep up with it and it might burn. Let it sizzle and cook in the oil for about 2 minutes or until it turns a golden brown. When it's done, place it on a plate with napkins so that it can soak all the excess oil. Repeat until you're done with all your shrimp!
  7. After you fry all your shrimps, pour them into the mayonnaise mix and stir thoroughly so that you get the sauce all over the shrimp!
  8. Time to nomnoms on your shrimp and rice! You can decorate your plate however you like because you're done!
