How to Make Shrimp Balls
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp, 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions, 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Form the mixture into walnut-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the shrimp balls in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- **For Shrimp Toast:** Slice a loaf of white bread into quarters. Spread a thin layer of the shrimp mixture onto each slice of bread, leaving a small border for easier handling.
- Deep fry the shrimp toast slices in the same oil at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the shrimp toast and place on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
