Instructions
- To a food processor, add the shrimp, salt, pepper, sugar, and cornstarch. Blend until it becomes a paste.
- Roll up the spring roll pastry wrappers and slice them into thin ribbons. Slice them as thin as you like. Cut the ribbons in half so they’re shorter.
- Add the ribbons of spring roll wrappers to a bowl.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop out balls of the shrimp paste one portion at a time, into the bowl of ribbons.
- Roll the shrimp ball around until the balls are coated in the wrappers. Use your hands to press them and shape them if necessary. You can trim off the excess if you prefer.
- Set the shrimp balls to the side, in a single layer as you work on the rest.
- Heat around 2 inches of oil in a pot or pan until it has reached 350F.
- Add a couple of shrimp balls at a time to the oil and fry for 4 to 5 minutes, flipping them around every minute or so to ensure even frying.
- Set the balls aside on a wire rack to drain.
- Continue to fry until you’ve fried all the shrimp balls. Serve with a sweet and sour sauce or sweet chile sauce.
