Fried Shrimp Balls

Fried shrimp balls are a popular appetizer in Asian cuisine that consists of chopped shrimp, green onions, garlic, and other seasonings, mixed with flour or cornmeal to form small balls, then deep-fried until they are crisp and golden. They are often served with sweet and sour sauce or chili sauce for dipping, and are deliciously crunchy on the outside while juicy and flavorful on the inside.
