# Instructions:

01 - Warm oil in a deep skillet on medium-high. Cook shrimp balls for about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping until they’re crispy and golden.

02 - Moisten your hands lightly with water, then roll the mixture to form small balls, roughly 1 inch in size. You should end up with 20-25 pieces.

03 - Mix shrimp chunks with egg, breadcrumbs, onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. If needed, toss in a little cornstarch to hold it all together.

04 - Slice shrimp into smaller chunks, or pulse lightly with a food processor if you prefer a finer texture.

# Notes:

01 - Serve as a light starter or the main course.

02 - Avoid overcrowding the pan while frying.

03 - Don’t over-blend shrimp pieces when processing.
