Remember shrimp toast? Here are the flavors without all that greasy bread. Crisp, crunchy and wonderful with cocktails. Hmmmm, dating myself again...does ANYONE call them cocktails anymore?
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lbs. raw shrimp, shelled and deveined shopping list
- 3 cans (6 3/4 oz) waterchestnuts, drained shopping list
- 3 egg whites, lightly beaten shopping list
- 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced (including green tops) shopping list
- 1 1/2 t. salt shopping list
- 1 1/2 T. soy sauce (gluten-free to make this gf) shopping list
- 1 T. dry sherry shopping list
- 1 T. cornstarch shopping list
- oil for deep frying shopping list
How to make it
- Using food processor, finely chop shrimp. Chop water chestnuts finely and combine with shrimp in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients, exzcept oil, mixing well. Shape into balls the size of walnuts.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil to 375 in an electric skillet or deep fryer. Fry balls about a dozen at a time, until golden on all sides. Drain on paper towels and serve with hot mustard and/or sweet and sour or duck sauce.
- You can freeze the shrimp balls after frying and reheat on a cookie sheet in a 350 oven for 10-15 minutes. Makes entertaining easier when you don't have to do all that frying at the last minute!
