Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • Add shelled shrimp into a food processor and pulse until it becomes a paste. Scrape down the sides occasionally to blend everything evenly.
    step 1: Blend the shrimp.
  • Add pepper, tabasco, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, ground coriander seeds, all-purpose flour, paprika, green beans, shallots, and coriander. Pulse again until mixed through.
    step 2: Add seasonings. Mix in vegetables and herbs.
  • 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.
    step 3: Oil your hands. Divide into balls. Flatten.
  • 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.
    step 4: Sear both sides.
  • Mix ketchup and mayonnaise together in a dipping bowl and serve.
    step 5: Mix the sauce and serve.
