Honey Walnut Shrimp

Honey Walnut Shrimp

You may remember this recipe from a while back. If you haven’t tried it yet, now is the time. Honey Walnut Shrimp is so good, Lauren from WFMJ requested it for her very last day with Megan on Great Groceries. We weren’t complaining; this recipe is delicious! We wish Lauren the best, and will truly miss her help in the kitchen.
