Crispy Fried Shrimp Balls

Directions

• Step 1
  In a food processor, pulse the shrimp, fish sauce, egg white, black pepper, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon oil several times until the mixture turns into a paste but still has some small pieces of shrimp.
• Step 2
  Slice the wonton skins into thin strips. Lay the strips in a layer on a cutting board.
• Step 3
  Form the shrimp paste into balls approximately 1½ tablespoons in size. You may need to wet your hands in between to keep them from sticking.
• Step 4
  Roll each ball into the wonton strips so that they cover the entire ball. Repeat until all balls have been wrapped.
• Step 5
  Heat the remaining 2 cups oil in a wok to 375°F. In batches, fry the shrimp balls until they turn golden brown, approximately 3–4 minutes. Drain the fried balls on plates lined with paper towels. Serve hot.
