Instructions
  1. 1

    To prepare the shrimp meatballs, first clean the shrimp: remove the head 1 and the shell, then cut the back and remove the black thread of the intestine 2. Transfer the pulp of the cleaned shrimp into a mixer 3.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped bread 4, the vegetable milk 5 and the soy sauce 6.

  3. 3

    Also add the oil 7 and the parsley, then grate a piece of fresh ginger 8 and garlic. Blend until a homogeneous mixture is obtained; if it is too liquid, add more bread, if it is too compact, pour a little more milk 9.

  4. 4

    Set aside and take care of the emulsion: pour the soy milk 10, the sunflower seed oil 11 and the salt 12 into a jug.

  5. 5

    Add the lime juice 13 and blend with an immersion blender 14 until you get a sort of mayonnaise 15. Put in the refrigerator to firm up.

  6. 6

    Take the shrimp mixture and, with the help of a baller, form meatballs all of the same size 16. Pass the meatballs first in the flour 17 and then in the beaten egg 18.

  7. 7

    Cover them evenly with breadcrumbs 19 and finish with another pass first in the egg 20 and then in the breadcrumbs. Gradually place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper 21.

  8. 8

    At this point, heat the seed oil to a temperature of 180° and dip the meatballs with the help of a spider to fry 22. Fry until golden brown, continuing to move them up and down with the skimmer 23: in this way the thermal shock will allow to form a crispy crust that will not let the oil penetrate inside. Drain the meatballs well and place them on the paper for frying 24.

  9. 9

    You are ready to plate: transfer the emulsion into a pastry bag and form tufts on the serving plate, one for each meatball 25. Squeeze the emulsion also on one side of the meatballs 26 and dip it in the sesame seeds that you have put in a bowl, so they will stick 27.

  10. 10

    Place the meatballs on the emulsion tufts, in this way they will not move 28. Garnish the part covered with sesame seeds with daikon sprouts 29 and serve your beautiful shrimp meatballs 30!
