Pulse the chopped shrimp in a food processor until it forms a coarse paste.
In a bowl, combine the shrimp paste with breadcrumbs, ginger, garlic, green onions, egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Wet your hands and form the mixture into 1¼–1½‑inch balls.
Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry the shrimp balls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with sweet chili sauce, soy‑ginger dip, or your favorite sauce.

For best texture, ensure the shrimp paste holds together—add more breadcrumbs if too wet.
Feel free to adjust ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
To make them healthier, bake at 400 °F (200 °C) for 12–15 minutes instead of frying.
You can prepare and freeze balls uncooked; fry directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to cooking time.
