1. Shrimp 15-16 deveined and cleaned
2. Corn flour 4 tbsp
3. All-purpose Flour 4 tbsp
4. Garlic Cloves 2-3 minced
5. Ginger 1 tsp grated
6. Spring Onions 2-3 tbsp chopped
7. Salt to taste
8. Sugar 1/2 tsp
9. White Pepper 1/2 tsp
10. Light Soy Sauce 1 tsp
11. Sesame Oil 1 tsp
12. Panko Breadcrumbs and cornflakes, lightly crushed 1 cup
13. Oil as required
# METHOD:
Serving Size: 4-5
Make a slurry by mixing 2 tbsp corn flour, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, and water. Season with salt.
Remove the shells from the shrimp (only the tail shell intact). While keeping the tails on, trim the tail tips.
Mince the remaining shrimps with a knife until they turn into a sticky, coarse paste.
In a bowl, combine shrimp paste, garlic, ginger, spring onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar, white pepper, remaining corn flour, and all-purpose flour.
Mix vigorously for 2-3 minutes, until well combined. Next, roll the shrimp paste into a large ball, pick it up and slam it down, onto a plate or bowl for 1-2 minutes, around 8-10 slams.
It helps push out excess air pockets and pack the mixture tightly, giving the shrimp balls a smoother finish and a bouncier, more springy texture.
Refrigerate the mixture 30-40 minutes. This will help to firm up the shrimp paste.
Scoop 2 tbsp of shrimp paste into your palm. Use your thumb to make a small cavity in the center.
Insert the shrimp tail (meaty end first) into the hollow.
Wrap the paste around the shrimp’s body, covering it completely while leaving the tail exposed. Shape into smooth balls with wet hands.
Dip each ball into the slurry, ensuring it clings to the balls nicely. Roll in the breadcrumbs and cornflakes, pressing lightly so the crumbs stick well. Let them rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Fry the shrimp balls until golden and crisp. Avoid high heat so the inside cooks properly.
Garnish with spring onions, chili flakes, and lemon wedges.
Enjoy hot with either sweet chili sauce, garlic mayo, or tomato ketchup, or a mixture of soy sauce and sesame oil.
NOTE:
The balls can also be coated in fine bread cubes, thin strips of spring roll wrappers, or almond flakes.
