Honey pecan shrimp and orginazation

I didn't set any large unobtainable new years resolutions, i want to drink more water, exercise more and try to control my temper better. But somehow for the past week plus, i have been on an organization streak. I rearanged the play room, in the pics, rearranged the laundry room and have my eyes set on the pantry next. This bug has even bitten aaron, as he cleaned and organized the gear closet.
Tonights dinner is a recipe i found a few months ago on one of the blogs i follow, userealbutter.com  it is a dish aaron and i loved in salt lake so i have been eager to recreate it. This is excellent.  I substituted candied pecans for candied walnuts, as aaron has a mild allergy. I used one pound of shrimp. Peel them and marinate in one egg white and a large pinch of salt for 30 minutes. Mix 1 tbsp condensed milk, 1 tbsp honey, 6 tbsp mayo and 1/2 lemon in a bowl and set aside for the sauce. To make the candied pecans mix 1/4 cup sugar with water, heat until it becomes a nice carmel color. Mix in the pecans and remove from the heat. Stir fry the broccoli in a little oil and set aside. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and dust with cornstarch. Fry in 3 inches of oil until golden. Drain and mix with the broccoli and pecans. Toss the mixture with the sauce to coat and serve with rice.
