  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 23 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
– 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (or your favorite seafood seasoning)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Cooking oil for frying or cooking spray for baking


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your delightful shrimp balls:

1. Prepare Shrimp: In a food processor, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp. Pulse them until finely chopped but not pureed.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped shrimp, breadcrumbs, green onions, parsley, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.
3. Shape the Mixture: Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of cooking oil over medium heat, or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking.
5. Cook Shrimp Balls: If frying, gently place the shrimp balls in the hot oil and cook until golden brown on each side, usually about 2-3 minutes per side. If baking, place shrimp balls on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden.
6. Drain Excess Oil: If frying, remove the shrimp balls from the oil and place them onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
7. Serve: Transfer the shrimp balls to a serving platter.
