Shrimp Balls

10 ingredients
1 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. small shrimp, shelled and uncooked
  • 1 8 oz. can sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1/4 c. cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp. sherry
  • 1 Tbsp. green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp. fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp. five spice powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 egg
  • oil for frying

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine all ingredients except oil in a blender or food processor. Blend mixture until mixed well but still a little chunky. Place 2 to 3 inches of oil in a skillet and heat. Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture into hot oil and cook for several minutes until golden brown. Place on a paper towel to drain. Serve warm with a variety of sauces including duck sauce, sweet and sour sauce and plum sauce. These little goodies are very tasty. I used a deep fat fryer to cook the shrimp balls but 2 or 3 inches of oil in a skillet should work just as well. Just make sure you keep the oil very hot and only cook one or two at a time.
