Honey Almond Shrimp

When I decided I wanted to make something Chinese-ish, I didn't have anything specific in mind. I started looking through my reader to see what other people made. A lot of them seemed difficult. A lot of ingredients I didn't have. There are a fair number of deep fried items. I thought about taking out my Fry Daddy but in the end I didn't do it.

These are definitely not authentic. But they looked good. I like sweet things. In case you didn't notice.
