Creating Crispy Shrimp Balls with Sweet Chili Sauce is simple when you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a food processor, combine the raw shrimp, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but retains some texture.
2. Add Bindings: Transfer the shrimp mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the beaten egg and cornstarch, then mix well until everything is evenly combined.
3. Shape the Balls: With wet hands, take small portions of the mixture and form them into balls, about the size of a golf ball.
4. Coat with Breadcrumbs: Roll each ball in breadcrumbs until fully coated. This will ensure that they achieve a crispy texture when fried.
5. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil over medium heat, ensuring it’s hot enough for frying (around 350°F or 175°C).
6. Fry the Shrimp Balls: Carefully drop each ball into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Drain and Cool: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried balls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Prepare the Sweet Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, and chili flakes if you prefer extra heat.
9. Serve Warm: Enjoy the crispy shrimp balls warm with the sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.

Each step leads you closer to enjoying these amazing crispy shrimp balls that are sure to impress.
