Preparation
- Peel off the shrimp skin (leave the tail on) and salt and pepper the shrimp for seasoning.
- Cook the potatoes, mash them into small crumbs and add in butter and egg yolk. (If the texture is too wet, go ahead and add in some flour.)
- Mix until smooth and then add in salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder for seasoning, mix well.
- Take about ⅓ cup mashed potato, form into a ball shape, poke a hole on the top, then put a shrimp inside, cover the shrimp well, and tighten the ball.
- Dip the ball into flour, egg wash, and panko, and make sure the ball is fully covered well with all three ingredients. If needed, refrigerate the balls before frying.
- Heat the oil between 350ºF to 375ºF (180ºC to 190ºC), then fry the shrimp ball until the outside is golden brown.
- Let it cool down a bit, and then serve it right away with any kind of sauce.
- Enjoy!
