Pineapple shrimp balls are a delightful, sweet-and-savory dish that’s perfect for parties or family dinners. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to crafting this tropical treat.
Ingredients:
- 300g shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 fresh pineapple, cored and cubed
- 1 egg white
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 pinch of white pepper
- Oil for frying
- Toothpicks (optional, for skewering)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the shrimp: Finely chop the shrimp or pulse in a food processor until minced. Transfer to a bowl, add egg white, cornstarch, soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Mix well until the paste becomes sticky. Chill for 15 minutes.
2. Shape the balls: Take a tablespoon of the shrimp mixture and wrap it around a pineapple cube, forming a ball. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
3. Cook the balls: Heat oil in a deep pan or wok to 350°F (175°C). Fry the shrimp balls in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. Serve: Serve hot with a sweet chili sauce or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
Tips: For a healthier version, air-fry the balls at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy this juicy, tangy snack that balances the sweetness of pineapple with the savory shrimp!
