Ingredients

2

2 servings

  • 12 oz wonton wrappers
  • 2 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons rice flour
  • 4 cups vegetable oil
  • sweet chili sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  • Finely chop the shrimp, then add to a large bowl with the green onions, soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix well. Add the egg and rice flour and stir; the mixture should thicken a bit.
  • Use a sharp knife to shred the wonton wrappers into ½-inch-wide strips, then transfer to a separate large bowl.
  • Scoop 2 tablespoons of the shrimp filling into the bowl with the shredded wrappers and pat firmly to cover the filling completely. Repeat to make about 6 balls total.
  • In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
  • Working in batches, fry the shrimp balls in the hot oil for 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  • Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce alongside for dipping.
  • Enjoy!
