Ingredients
1 lb fresh shrimp, no shell and no vein
1 slice bread, no crust and wet
1 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sherry wine
4 water chestnuts, finely chopped
1 cup water
Cooking oil

Instructions
1. Wash shrimp and dry well with a disposable paper towelette.
2. Chop and dice the shrimp very finely; next place into a large bowl; mix in the bread, salt, egg, cornstarch, sherry and water chestnuts; stir the combination vigorously for a couple minutes until well mixed.
3. Insert a teaspoon into the cold water, then insert the chilled spoon into shrimp paste and scoop out enough to create a golf ball sized morsel; repeat until you have used all the mixture.
4. Heat the cooking oil to 375 F, and as you’re dipping, drop in the fresh shrimp balls and fry for about 3 minutes, turn them once 1/2 through.
5. You can cook about 4-5 at a time, if you try to do more the oil temperature will drop too much and your shrimp will be too oily!
6. Drain and dry the fresh shrimp on paper towels.
7. Best to eat them hot with any sauce you or your guests like.

Serve and Enjoy
