Hi Lilly,
Long time reader, first time poster here. One question, were the shrimp pre-cooked?
Nathaniel
the shrimps are raw - it will not work with cooked shrimps
Dear Lily
Can I bake these shrimp balls instead of frying? How long should I bake and at what temperature (Fahrenheit)? Thanks!

i have not tried baking them but you can always try with a few and see how it goes. Spritze with a little oil before baking.
tried this today! it was delicious!! thanks lily! ^^
i tried baking it at first thou, because im afriad of the splattering oil the results in the process of deep frying, but it didn't have the right crispyness to it. finally, i gathered up all my courage and deep fried the balls. a million billion thumbs up!!!
