Total:: 50 min
Prep:: 40 min
Cook:: 10 min

Yield:: about 30 to 40 shrimp balls

Level:: Easy

Ingredients

Shrimp Balls:

2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, grated
6 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 egg whites
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Asian chile paste (sambaal oeleck)
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 (12-ounce) cans sliced water chestnuts, drained and coarsely chopped
1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Dipping Sauce:

1 1/2 cups soy sauce
3/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 (1-inch) piece ginger, grated
3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
4 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
2 to 3 tablespoons Asian chile paste (sambaal oeleck)

Directions

For the shrimp balls: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine all the shrimp ball ingredients in a large bowl, except the panko breadcrumbs. Stir to thoroughly combine. Working in 3 batches, pulse the mix in a food processor until it becomes a coarse paste. Transfer each batch to a bowl. Do not overcrowd the processor bowl. When all the shrimp has been pulsed and transferred to a bowl, stir in the panko breadcrumbs until thoroughly combined.

Working with wet hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the shrimp balls on a sheet tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

For the dipping sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together to combine.

To serve: Remove the shrimp balls from the oven. Serve warm on toothpicks or skewers with the dipping sauce on the side.
