Ingredients

2 1/2 lbs. raw shrimp, shelled and deveined

3 cans (6 3/4 oz) waterchestnuts, drained

3 egg whites, lightly beaten

1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced (including green tops)

1 1/2 t. salt

1 1/2 T. soy sauce (gluten-free to make this gf)

1 T. dry sherry

1 T. cornstarch

Oil for deep frying

Directions

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!

I tried this with the addition of a few green chillies and it made it quite something else, let me know if you try it? Regards K
