About This Dish

Honey Walnut Shrimp is the premium order at Panda Express: tempura battered shrimp tossed in a sweet cream glaze and finished with candied walnuts, 430 calories a serving, priced by your store with a premium upcharge inside formats from $8.50. It is one of the most requested dishes in the store, and the one people describe to friends afterward.

The glaze is what separates it from every other sauce on the line: honey and a mayonnaise based cream rather than soy and sugar, so it lands rich, mildly sweet and faintly tangy instead of sticky. The tempura shell keeps the shrimp crisp under all that, and the walnuts, candied until glassy, add a bitter sweet crunch that keeps the richness from flattening out. It looks pale gold on the tray next to the lacquered red entrees, and it disappears fastest.

Honey Walnut Shrimp calories reflect the cream: 430 per serving with 28 g of fat, 9 g of sugar and 13 g of protein. Among the seafood entrees it is the indulgent pole, with Wok Fired Shrimp at 190 calories holding the other end. Tree nuts and shellfish flags both apply, which makes it the single most allergen dense dish on the menu; egg, wheat, soy and milk ride along in the batter and glaze.

How much is Honey Walnut Shrimp? Stores price it locally and add the premium upcharge at the register, announced before you pay. The practical math: a Bowl at $8.50 plus the upcharge remains the cheapest way to a full serving with a side underneath.

It suits celebrations, first dates at the food court, and anyone who finds the red sauced entrees too sharp. Pair it with plain White Steamed Rice so the glaze stays the loudest thing on the tray, or with Super Greens at 130 calories to keep the whole order in bounds while the shrimp does the indulging.
