Making the Perfect Shrimp Balls
Ingredients:
1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup of chopped green onions
1/4 cup of chopped water chestnuts
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 cup of bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
Oil for frying
Sweet and sour sauce for dipping
Instructions:
In a food processor, blend the shrimp, green onions, water chestnuts, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add in the bread crumbs and beaten egg. Mix well.
Using wet hands, form the mixture into small balls.
In a pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the shrimp balls and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce for dipping.
The Secret to Perfect Shrimp Balls
The key to making the perfect shrimp balls is in the texture. The mixture should be slightly sticky and hold its shape when formed into balls. If the mixture is too dry, add a little water. If it is too wet, add more bread crumbs. Additionally, make sure to fry the shrimp balls in hot oil to achieve a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
Variations and Tips
If you want to add some extra flavor to your shrimp balls, try adding some diced bell peppers or jalapeños to the mixture. You can also experiment with different dipping sauces, such as spicy mayo or hoisin sauce.
To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the bread crumbs with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs.
For a healthier option, you can bake the shrimp balls in the oven instead of frying them. Simply place them on a greased baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
