Ingredients (15)

  • 16 oz peeled shrimp 28 oz raw shrimp
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 oz green beans chopped
  • 3 tsp canola oil divided into 2 and 1
  • 1/16 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp ground coriander seed
  • 1/2 tsp tabasco
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp shallots minced
  • 1 tsp Heinz ketchup
  • 1 tsp Japanese mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp coriander minced

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Add 16 oz peeled shrimp into a food processor and pulse until it becomes a paste. Scrape down the sides occasionally to blend everything evenly.

2

Add 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp tabasco, 1/8 tsp baking powder, 1/16 salt, 1/2 garlic powder, 1 tsp ground coriander seeds, 3 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp paprika, 1 oz green beans, 1 tsp shallots, and 2 tbsp coriander. Pulse again until mixed through.

3

Divide the shrimp into 12 balls, each weighing around 1.5 oz. During the process, dip your finger in 1 tsp of oil to prevent the batter from sticking to your hands. Flatten them afterwards.

4

Add the remaining oil to a skillet and heat it over medium-low heat. When it’s hot, sear the balls until they’re golden brown on both sides. Doing this in batches is easier, especially if you have a small skillet.

5

Mix 1 tsp ketchup and 1 tsp mayonnaise together in a dipping bowl and serve.

6

Drizzle with the sauce before serving.
