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.
HUNDRED CORNER SHRIMP BALLS (DIM SUM)
These little dim sum treats are so delicious and very easy to prepare. They are great hot or at room temperature and can be served with a dipping sauce of hot chili sauce or salt seasoned with a little curry powder, five spice powder or crushed Szechuan peppercorns. They can be made ahead and reheated in the oven. Any white fleshed fish fillets can be used instead of the shrimp. The shrimp paste itself (without the bread cubes) can also be poached in water and served as dumplings in soup, or can be pan fried as little shrimp patties.

BAKED SHRIMP BALLS
I love shrimp balls, but not the deep fried ones. Steamed dumplings are great but often take more time than I want. These are easier than apple pie but taste terrific and are low fat. I often leave out the water chestnuts. Other additions are green onions or garlic to taste.

EASY CRISPY VIETNAMESE SHRIMP BALLS
This is my take on the classic Vietnamese sugar cane shrimp recipe and it works great! Serve with Vietnamese dipping sauce (nuoc cham) or mix of hoisin sauce and sriracha hot sauce or plain.

Steps:
- Rinse shrimp well under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Coarsely chop shrimp into medium pieces and place in the bowl of a food processor.
- Add 1 beaten egg, shallot, sesame oil, cornstarch, brown sugar, fish sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper to the shrimp in the food processor. Blend until a smooth paste is created. Transfer shrimp paste to a bowl and refrigerate until slightly hardened, about 30 minutes.
- Remove paste from refrigerator. Use an ice cream scoop, a tablespoon, or your hands to form shrimp paste into balls.
- Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add shrimp balls, cover, and steam until they become opaque, about 5 minutes. Transfer steamed shrimp balls to a plate and allow to cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes.
- Place bread crumbs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Place 2 beaten eggs in a separate bowl. Roll steamed shrimp balls in bread crumbs, then in beaten eggs, then again in bread crumbs and then place on a plate.
- Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Cook shrimp balls until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose fresh shrimp: The fresher the shrimp, the better the shrimp balls will taste. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight briny smell.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings to find a flavor combination that you like. Some popular options include garlic, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and Chinese five-spice powder.
- Don't overcook the shrimp balls: Shrimp balls are best when they are cooked through but still slightly tender. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve shrimp balls with your favorite dipping sauce: Shrimp balls can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or chili sauce.
Conclusion:
Shrimp balls are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give shrimp balls a try!
