Cooking Instructions
- Begin by preparing your shrimp for these mouthwatering Crispy Shrimp Balls. Roughly chop the peeled and deveined shrimp or pulse them in a food processor until coarsely ground.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp with panko breadcrumbs, a beaten egg, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
- With slightly wet hands, scoop out portions of the shrimp mixture and roll them into 1 to 1.5-inch balls. Aim for about 20 to 25 balls.
- In a large frying pan, pour in vegetable oil to a depth of about half an inch and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Carefully add the shrimp balls to the hot oil in batches, frying each for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Present your Crispy Shrimp Balls hot and fresh, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, paired with vibrant dipping sauces.
