Best Vietnamese Deep Fried Shrimp With Dipping Sauce Recipes
EASY CRISPY VIETNAMESE SHRIMP BALLS
This is my take on the classic Vietnamese sugar cane shrimp recipe and it works great! Serve with Vietnamese dipping sauce (nuoc cham) or mix of hoisin sauce and sriracha hot sauce or plain.

Steps:
- Rinse shrimp well under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Coarsely chop shrimp into medium pieces and place in the bowl of a food processor.
- Add 1 beaten egg, shallot, sesame oil, cornstarch, brown sugar, fish sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper to the shrimp in the food processor. Blend until a smooth paste is created. Transfer shrimp paste to a bowl and refrigerate until slightly hardened, about 30 minutes.
- Remove paste from refrigerator. Use an ice cream scoop, a tablespoon, or your hands to form shrimp paste into balls.
- Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add shrimp balls, cover, and steam until they become opaque, about 5 minutes. Transfer steamed shrimp balls to a plate and allow to cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes.
- Place bread crumbs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Place 2 beaten eggs in a separate bowl. Roll steamed shrimp balls in bread crumbs, then in beaten eggs, then again in bread crumbs and then place on a plate.
- Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Cook shrimp balls until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.

VIETNAMESE DEEP FRIED SHRIMP WITH DIPPING SAUCE
While studying up on Vietnamese cooking, I came across this recipe, which sounded easy and delicious for our wine-time. I wondered if I could use cornstarch in place of tapioca starch and learned that cornstarch would turn mushy, while the tapioca starch will remain crispy.
