    Title: Deep Fried Shrimp Balls
    Categories: Seafood, Oriental, Pork
    Yield: 5 Servings

    1 lb Shrimp; peeled, deveined
    2 sl Streaky bacon
    4 Water chestnuts; minced
    +=OR=+
    1/2 md Onion; diced very fine
    Salt & pepper
    1 lg Egg; beaten
    2 tb Corn starch
    Oil; to deep fry

    Mince shrimp, bacon, onion or water chestnuts together until
    fine. Place mixture in bowl. Remove crusts from bread. Dice
    bread into very fine cubes. Place cubes in shrimp mixture.
    Add salt, pepper, egg and 2 tablespoons corn starch to
    mixture. Combine thoroughly.

    Fill a wok halfway up with oil. Heat oil on highest heat
    setting. When you think oil is sufficiently heated, test the
    temperature of it with a small piece of bread crust. If it
    frys to a golden brown colour, then oil is ready for deep
    frying. If bread crust fails to brown readily, then oil is
    not ready yet. If bread crust frys to a dark brown, then oil
    is too hot. Shut heat off of wok, allow oil to cool 5
    minutes before turning heat on again. Retest oil with bread
    crust to see if it is of proper temperature.

    When oil is ready for deep frying, take 2 teaspoons, dip
    into shrimp mixture and form a 1" diameter ball. Drop ball
    into hot oil, Place about 8 balls into the hot oil. Allow
    each ball to deep fry 3 minutes. Turn balls so that each
    will fry to a golden brown colour. Remove balls to paper
    toweling to drain excess oil from them. Repeat procedure for
    deep frying rest of shrimp mixture until all of the mixture
    is used up. Place shrimp balls on a serving platter. Garnish
    with parsley or other raw vegetable.
