Crispy fried shrimp balls are a favorite dish for children. This dish is not only crispy on the outside and sweet and fragrant from the shrimp on the inside, but also nutritious. Housewives can change their family meals on the weekend with crispy fried shrimp balls.
To make crispy fried shrimp balls, housewives need to prepare 300gr fresh shrimp, 100gr minced pork, 1 chicken egg, 100gr breadcrumbs, 15gr cornstarch and some other basic spices.
First, prepare the shrimp by washing, peeling, removing the head and removing the black vein. Then mince the shrimp or grind it to mix with other ingredients. Peel and mince the garlic with the green onions.
Prepare a large bowl, add shrimp, minced pork, onion and garlic. Add cornstarch, a little salt, pepper and sesame oil to enhance the flavor. Mix well until the ingredients are combined and the mixture has a certain viscosity.
Leave the mixture in the refrigerator for about 15 - 20 minutes. This will help the mixture stick together better, making it easier to shape into balls without falling apart when fried.
Take the shrimp and pork mixture from the refrigerator and use your hands to shape it into bite-sized balls. Roll the shrimp balls in the breadcrumbs so that they are evenly coated on the outside. The breadcrumbs will help create a crispy crust when fried, making the dish more appealing.
Heat a pan with enough oil to cover the shrimp balls. Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the outer shell. When the oil is hot, gently fry each shrimp ball. Turn the shrimp balls over to ensure even cooking and golden brown color. Fry each batch of shrimp for about 5-7 minutes.
When the shrimp balls are golden brown, remove and place on absorbent paper to remove excess oil to prevent the dish from becoming greasy.
Arrange the fried shrimp balls on a plate to make them look attractive and prepare a bowl of chili sauce or a mixture of chili sauce and mayonnaise to make the dish more attractive and delicious.
