Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner Menu - Crispy Golden Cheese Mashed Potato Shrimp Balls

Cooking Instructions

1. Peel the potatoes, slice them and steam them over high heat for 25 minutes until soft

   

2. Handle the shrimp while steaming the potatoes: wash the shrimp and remove the head and shell, but keep the tail and the last section of the shell to remove the mud

   

3. Add the marinade and marinate for a while.
   Please !️ refrigerate on a hot day.
   The !️ number of shrimp in my photo is relatively large, and the seasoning required for marinating has been converted into almost 10 shrimp

   

4. Steamed potatoes with salt, sugar and ground black pepper

   

5. Crush into a puree with a fork

   

6. Take an appropriate amount of mashed potatoes and put them in the palm of your hand, flatten them, put a little cheese in the middle, and then put a shrimp on top of it, wrap it up, and expose the shrimp tails.
   It !️ is best to wear disposable plastic gloves to operate, it will not stick to your hands.
   !️ Don't put too much cheese, otherwise it will be easy to burst out when it is fried.

   

7. Open the shrimp tail to form a "phoenix tail", which will look better

   

8. It's quite big, and those with a small appetite can eat two and you'll be
   full! !️ Novices can also wrap shrimp in mashed potatoes without cheese.

   

9. On a plate with mashed potatoes and shrimp balls, I spread a layer of plastic wrap to prevent sticking

   

10. From left to right, flour, egg mixture, and breadcrumbs.
    Roll the wrapped potato and shrimp balls in the flour and put them in the egg wash so that the surface is covered with the egg mixture, and finally put them in a bowl with breadcrumbs to coat the surface with breadcrumbs.

    

11. Ready to go fried

    

12. Heat the oil in a pot, turn to medium-low heat after the oil is hot, put the potato and shrimp balls in and fry them for about 6 minutes, and then remove them when the surface is golden brown.

    

13. There is a cheese burst out
    ! !️ It will indeed be more amazing to put cheese, but it will also increase the difficulty of operating with cheese, because the fried time is too little for fear that the shrimp will not be cooked, and if the fried time is too long, the cheese will be easy to burst, so novices can choose whether to put cheese or not.

    

14. Fry and drain the oil

    

15. You can use other types of cheese, but for brushing, use Mozzarella Cheese.

    

16. Tomato sauce or salad dressing is delicious when it is hot.
