# Instructions:

Either finely chop the shrimp by hand or give it a few quick pulses in a food processor if you want it smoother.

Mix together the shrimp, breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add cornstarch if the mix feels too loose.
03 -
With clean, damp hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1-1.5 inches wide. You should get around 20 to 25 pieces.

Warm up some oil in a big pan over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp balls in small batches, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden.
