Mini Shrimp Balls
Method
Instructions
Prepare the Shrimp Mixture
In a food processor, combine the raw shrimp, garlic, green onions, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but not puréed.
Mix Ingredients
Transfer the shrimp mixture to a mixing bowl. Add breadcrumbs and the egg. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Form the Balls
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot.
Fry the Shrimp Balls
Carefully place the shrimp balls into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve with Tartar Sauce
Serve the mini shrimp balls hot with tartar sauce on the side for dipping.
