These fried shrimp balls are a much-loved dim sum classic, packed with flavor. Serve with a sweet chili sauce to recreate the authentic Chinese dim sum experience in your own kitchen. Here are the ingredients you need:

• Large Shrimps
• Garlic
• Egg roll wrapper
• Soy sauce
• Oyster sauce
• Sugar
• Sesame oil
• Cornstarch

WHICH TYPE OF SHRIMP SHOULD I USE?

In this recipe, the size of the shrimp doesn’t matter. I prefer to use jumbo shrimp by blending them in a food processor rather than chopping them by hand.

TIPS FOR PERFECTING THESE SHRIMPS BALLS

1.Shrimp: Fresh or frozen, make sure they are thawed and completely dried. Small and medium shrimp work well.

2.Seasoning: Garlic, sugar, soy sauce, and oyster sauce add depth to the flavor of the shrimp mixture.

-3.Binding agent: Corn or potato starch helps bind and moisten the mixture. Corn flour is used here, but potato starch also works.

4.Oil: Choose a neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil with a high smoke point for frying. 

5.Minced shrimpS: Chop by hand or use a food processor to finely chop the shrimp, aiming for a texture rather than a paste.

-6.Chill the mixture: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to blend the flavors and make shaping easier

7. Hot Oil: Heat to 350°F (175°C) for crispy, evenly cooked shrimp balls.

8. Frying in batches: Avoid overcrowding the pan for even frying and maintaining the temperature.
