Yield Makes 80 hors d'oeuvres, serving 20

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lb large shrimp (30), peeled and deveined
8-oz can water chestnuts (1 cup), rinsed and finely chopped
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons finely chopped chilled fresh pork fat or lard
1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine or Scotch
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion greens
2 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
About 8 cups vegetable oil
Accompaniment: apricot dipping sauce

Steps:

  • Pulse shrimp in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl, then stir in water chestnuts, egg white, pork fat, rice wine, ginger, scallion, salt, and cornstarch. Beat shrimp mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon and throw it against side of bowl until combined well and compacted. Wet your hands with cold water and form teaspoons of shrimp mixture into balls, arranging in 1 layer on a wax-paper-lined tray. Coat balls, 1 at a time, in panko, then arrange in 1 layer on another wax-paper-lined tray.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Heat oil in a 5-quart pot until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F and fry balls in 4 batches, turning, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until golden and just cooked through. (Return oil to 375°F between batches.) Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. When all shrimp balls are fried, reheat on a rack set in a shallow baking pan in middle of oven until just hot, about 2 minutes.

These shrimp balls are the perfect appetizer or snack. They're crispy, flavorful, and easy to make. I love that they're baked instead of fried, so they're a bit healthier.

I had some trouble getting the shrimp balls to brown evenly. I think I might have needed to cook them for a bit longer.

These shrimp balls were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think I'll reduce the amount of chili sauce next time.

I had some trouble getting the shrimp balls to hold together. I think I might have overmixed the batter.
